you can carry upto 20000 without any duties, after that u have to pay duties which is nominal and carry the original bills with u, by the way buying in India would be recommendable as all models are available at same price in india too.

We can take electronic items of Max Rs. 25000 with out duty. You will have to pay tax for the additional amount that comes over Rs. 25000. I took one last year (32") and paid Rs.340 as duty (Kochi airport). Keep the original bills with you. Make sure that the model you buy is available in India otherwise you will face lot of problems if any repairs occur.
