    Recently, a man was caught with gold worth Rs 12.94L at Hyderabad airport by authorities. This incident has once again brought to light the issue of gold smuggling and the measures taken by authorities to prevent it.

    Gold smuggling has been a persistent problem in India for many years. The high demand for gold in the country, coupled with high import duties and taxes, has created a lucrative market for smugglers. According to reports, India is the world’s second-largest consumer of gold, with an estimated annual demand of around 800-900 tonnes.

    Smugglers use various methods to transport gold into the country, including hiding it in their luggage, concealing it in their body cavities, or even using drones to drop it off in remote areas. These methods are not only illegal but also pose a significant threat to national security.

    To combat gold smuggling, authorities have implemented various measures, including increased surveillance at airports and border crossings, stricter customs regulations, and increased penalties for offenders. In addition, the government has also encouraged people to buy gold through legal channels and has introduced schemes such as the Gold Monetization Scheme and Sovereign Gold Bonds to promote this.
