Is any restriction on the export of peacoke feathers from India? Is there any export duty on the same?



i also would like from where i get peacoke feather cheaply from south india.

There seems to be too much confusion in this matter. There are too many notification in this regards. However after checking lot of reference looks like it is prohibited now - NOTIFICATION NO. 28 (RE-2001)/1997-2002, Dt. 10/09/2001.

Permitted in limited fashion - http://dgftcom.nic.in/exim/2000/cir/cir9...

later: Export of peacock tail feathers is prohibited under the Exim policy, and is also banned under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972,

earlier RESTRICTIONS PERTAINING TO EXPORTS OF ARTICLES MADE

The Government of India is concerned about the conservation of its endangered
and rare fauna Keeping this in mind, export of all wild animals indigenous to the
country and articles made from such listed animals like skins, pelts, furs, ivory,
rhino horns, trophies, etc., have been totally banned. These include all forms of
wild anima s including their parts and products, except peacock tail feathers and
handicrafts made from them and those made from articles and shavings of antler,
cheetals and sambars. The export of exotic birds is also not allowed.
Peacock is the national bird of India and hunting down peacocks for it's feathers is a punishable crime.

If caught trying to smuggle out peacock feathers you are liable for a fine and a term in the jail for the same.
