Travelling from Mumbai to Amsterdam, with a transit in France. Can I shop duty free in Mumbai? [duplicate]
Normally, I wouldn't consider shopping Duty Free with a transit flight. But since this transit is within the EU, I wonder if it might be possible to carry some alcohol from the Mumbai Duty-Free. Your perspectives will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I would not do that. For example I used to take flights within Shengen area to / from Sweden and the alcohol was limited to 1 litter per person. Overall I don't really get the point of buying in Duty free shops in Mumbai and not in Amsterdam considering the local products are not as traditionals as the ones you can buy in the country itself.

Can I buy duty-free on arrival at Mumbai airport?
A boarding pass showing a foreign visit is required to purchase duty free goods. You cannot make these purchases on a domestic flight even if it is arriving at the international terminal.Can you go to duty-free without flying?
Duty-free shops (or stores) are retail outlets that are exempt from the payment of certain local or national taxes and duties, on the requirement that the goods sold will be sold to travelers who will take them out of the country. Essentially, you can only buy goods duty-free if you're about to export them.Can you buy duty-free alcohol on domestic flights?
Officially no. Domestic travellers are not allowed to buy liquers from duty free shop. Mostly duty free shop are located after imigration of international departure and after imigration in international arrival then how can a domestic travler could reach there.INDIA TO PARIS WITHOUT VISA | AIR FRANCE BAD BEHAVIOUR AT MUMBAI AIRPORT
