Warrant check: You can ask the authorities to show search warrant and their identity card.
-
Two witnesses: The search process will be in front of your two knowers or neighbors (witnesses).
-
Woman searched: Only a female officer can search any woman.
-
Food and Medical Facility: You can ask officers to eat food or call a doctor in a medical emergency.

Children’s School: Your children can go to school after getting their school bag checked.

Copy of Panchnama: You have the full right to take a copy of the Panchnama, the list of seized goods.
How much gold and cash cannot be confiscated?
This is the most common question. According to the rule, gold cannot be confiscated to a certain extent, provided it matches your income:
-
married woman: 500 grams of gold

If you have to sleep more than this and you are unable to give account of it (from where, how to bought), then it can be confiscated. Similarly, if you tell the correct source of cash found in the house, it is not seized.
