This article is saying it's a possibility and also that it could see up to a $200 decline in gold in a day (then a potential reset).

If India did ban gold imports, and gold did drop like that, then what?
Buy?
Worry?
HUGE premiums as no one would want to sell for such a loss right away?
Unable to find physical gold (put away, bought out, etc)?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    it would become much more expensive, at least in India. Food for thought.

    Such a thing would barely ripple the gold market.... Cheers, RickO

    The women would look better wearing nothing, as opposed to wearing gold.

    They have banned gold imports in the past, and it never prevented gold from being imported into India.
