Thanks for the info and the link. According to the link, I can also carry two (2) litres of alcohol AND two (2) litres of wine, for a total of 4 litres?? ? I thought the norm was one (1) litre of alcohol OR wine, basically a combined total of 1 litre. [See Annex 1 of the link]

You also mentioned that I may be asked to pay customs on the accessories. Isn't there a customs waiver for personal, non-business use, especially when I'm taking them out of India within weeks of entering? I do have a letter from my employer stating that I'm on vacation, and that I return to work in a few weeks (exact dates on the letter) - part of my visa documentation...

With regards to "questioning", what would be my worst case scenario? Make me empty my wallet? Confiscate?

Lastly, on my way out of India, do I need to declare anything or go through some special formalities?

Thanks in advance for your answers
