I am a US citizen, who is a Person's of Indian Origin (PIO) card holder. I am planning to buy an iPhone 6s (60 rupees) as a gift for my mother (who lives in India). I would like to bring it to her in an unopened box.
Will I have a problem at Indian Customs for bringing in an unopened, brand new iPhone, along with my old iPhone which I am using?
