AFAIK from folks who do carry tv's frequently to India, 35k is the limit now ( though I was also surprised as budget has not yet been passed)..Even the shopkeeper confirmed that its 35k..

Personally, even I feel if the price difference is less then it does not make sense.. In this instant case, its a close relative who asked me to get it and I made him aware of all the risks etc..

Thanks for all the info.. I am travelling tomorrow to DEL and will update next week on the experience..
