Anyone bring a large screen TV as checked-in baggage? plz suggest me.
1. Tax free allowance is Rs 35k.. so if you can prove u paid INR 42k, you need to pay ~ 35% tax on 7000 ( 42k - 35k)..
2.Check with the airline.. usually they shd not have a problem if within your checked bag limited.
3. Refer to pt 2.
4. Where do u plan to store this in the compartment ? Its big IIRC..better to book it in train luggage if u can take the risk..
