In India, the rules require that any gift received during an official visit has to be submitted to government’s Toshakhana. This needs to be done within 30 days after the official has returned from the visit. After the gift is submitted, the authorities assess the value of the gift. According to reports, any gift whose assessed value is below Rs 5,000 is returned to the recipient. However, if the person wants to retain the gift over this value, they can pay the difference between the limit and the assessed value of the gift. Importantly, gifts of symbolic value can be retained by the recipient. Ministry of External Affairs maintains a list of gifts submitted to the government which can be accessed from its website.
