Rs.35000/ is permited as duty free per passanger. 25 to 30 % customs duty on diference of (55000/- less 35000/-) 20,000 which is about 5000 to 6000.
 
Actually the duty calculation will be 78k-35k = 43k * 35 % = 15050

but in some airports they impose like what is stated in the customs website ..

according to the customs website , the calculation has to be (price in india - allowable limit * 35% and NOT Price abroad - allowable limit * 35%)

I dont know which method they will adopt.. But i heard in hyderabad, they take the value in INDIA in computation...

They will count duty based on current India price of the same product. But there are good chances you may not have to pay any duty because recently my hubby brought a tv from Dubai for his friend and he didnt have to pay any duty. It was 32 inch model Sony HX650. Also his friends brought 40 inch samsung/sony tv from Dubai but there was no duty for them too. You might totally get lucky.
 
I had bought a sony tv last year. the customs official started calculating by the indian mrp method. I produced the vat refund documents (photocopy) which i was in possesion as one of my friends suggested me to do so. Then I informed the customs official that I had documentary evidence of my cost and told them that the department could verify the fact on the internet. After some debate he finally agreed to the price I declared.

During VAT refund in Thailand, all original documents are collected by Thai authority so be carefull to make a photocopy before vat refund and carry the same to show to Indian customs for valuation.
 
Less than 46 inches, difference in prices are negligible. There is a big difference after 46 inches. Note that you loose warranty and with the power problems that we have in India, 220-110v convertor for TVs from USA, I dont think its a wise decision to bring TVs from USA.
 
Buy from India's official online dealer!
