As per "customs manual 2012" (http://www.cbec.gov.in/cs-manual-2012.pdf) gifts upto value of Rs 10000 can be imported through post without duty but the same website of indian customs in a seperate link (http://www.cbec.gov.in/js-menu/imp-gifts.htm) says that gifts upto value Rs 5000 can be imported via post without duty. Please clarify which is the correct and currently valid rule.
