Answer 1 :
If the laptop is new then I think that customs might be interested. I have taken a laptop to India in my hand luggage several times without problem but its not new and is just part of my personal effects
Answer 2 :
on a new one, you may be required to pay.
Answer 3 :
If you purchase a new computer in the United States and intend on importing it into India, you will have to pay the applicable duty on the item. If you fail to declare it on arrival to customs & immigration, you could be subject to fines or possible jail time.
