Packing List
by delon
Depending on when you arrive your clothing should be:
During Summer (March-June) : Light clothing, cottons, shorts, hats/caps, sunglasses etc
During Monsoon (June-Ocober): Rain wear, water protective clothing/jackets/caps etc. The rains are pretty heavy so I'd advise proper rainwear.
During winter: It's never too cold in Bombay, in fact it ranges from a pleasant to warm season during winter, so clothing can be light/normal wear. Woollens are rarely required, while heavy winter/fur jackets are an absolute waste to carry. Most medicines are available all throughout Bombay, so unless if you have an uncommon/specific medicine/drug to carry, don't bother carrying anything more than a basic first aid kit which is also easily available anywhere in Bombay.

commission or consulate, an extension of visa is possible in Bombay.If a visit extends beyond 90 days, an Income Tax Clearance Certificate is required at the time of
departure. This is available from the main tax office in Bombay
