How much cash can one carry to India?

[shahhar5]

My parents visited me for a month and now they are going back to India. I want to send $2K in cash in dollar currency with them. Can I do that? Will they have any problem with Indian Customs and Excise? I know you can take upto $10K cash from US and not report to US customs, but I am not sure about Indian Customs. Thanks in advance
