Where and how much alcohol can be kept in cabin or check-in bag, flight? Know the rules of DGCA

Confusion regarding carrying alcohol during air travel in India arises because people assume that the rules for cabin bag and check-in bag are the same. Many travelers think that alcohol is completely banned, whereas the reality is that it is completely legal to carry alcohol in the right quantity and with the right packaging.

DGCA has set clear guidelines keeping safety and security in mind. If we talk about cabin bag i.e. hand luggage, the rules here are the strictest. In India, no passenger is allowed to carry more than 100 ml of liquor in the cabin bag.
