I'm planning to take new 70" TV from USA to India shortly

Is it possible to carry such a big TV even If I'm ready to pay over weight and size ?

I may take multiple flights(domestic and international), is that overweight and size charges have to pay only once during first check in or to pay Domestic as well as international flights separately ?

What will be approximate duty charges at Bangalore for 70" new TV ?
9W and BA have an interline agreement which I have used successfully before.
I do not know the customs charges (I imported TVs before the change.)
