doesn't matter whether you carry the laptop in your carry on or checked luggage....in bom you are supposed to scan your luggage on your way out....sometimes they let you go without the scan & sometimes they don't....if your bags are scanned & a second laptop is discovered that you failed to declare then you could be in for some questioning....

just pay the duty on the second laptop....it won't be much....
