Can it really be that different in other airports? I haven't passed through DEL in ~10 years, but at that time certainly no attention was paid to my hand luggage or (to my knowledge) checked luggage.
In DEL & BOM almost every bag (checked-in & hand luggage) is scanned before you are allowed to leave. I have been told its similar in BLR as well.
