Is the customs allowance any different for someone returning after an year as opposed to someone who travelled on a visitor visa ?
Or it is the usual 35000 Rs per person ?
Also will it be a good idea to carry bills of all the things that i am bringing back to show they are used and old (most things are more than 6-8 months old) ?

Scroll down to the section titled 'SPECIAL ALLOWANCES FOR PROFESSIONALS RETURNING TO INDIA'

Hope that helps
