My situation:
Have a dell computer from 2010 (fairly new, just a year old) ... I spilled coffee on it and it doesn't work. I've another notebook which works. I was wondering if I could take the non-working Dell computer to India and leave it there. The reason is if my buddies could get it fixed there then they could use it. I bought the laptop for $549.99 and it's costing me $399.99 to repair in the US. (Way to go Geek Squad)
A buddy of mine told me not to take the laptop to India as I'd have to declare it at the customs and if I don't have it on me when I leave India, then I'd have to pay the import/export fee which is around Rs. 10,000 (as told by my friend)
There is no other place that I could find where an OCI card holder travels with 2 laptops.
So if any Indian national has left a non-working laptop in India for any reason (whether paid the fee or didn't), could you please put your two cents here. I really need to know as I have an upcoming trip to India (not so soon), but your 2 cents would be appreciated.
