Can I carry two laptops to India from US (1 - personal and 1 - official)?

Question

Hi,

I will be returning India from USA after a short visit. While coming to US, I brought my official laptop. I am carrying couple of official letters stating that my laptop is official.

In USA I bought a laptop (not on my name but my US friend's name since his Credit Card was used). Now I want to carry both laptops to India? Do I have to pay any duty on my personal/official laptop(s)? If yes how much so? Can't I avoid/escape the duty legally?

Thanks,

Saurabh

Answer 1

shouldn't be a problem just tell em at customs that 1 is work and the other is personal if they even ask  

Answer 2

package them well and just answer questions as they ask.

Or are yu trying to smuggle.

Just be yourself at the port and you will the same original at home.
