How much would the customs charge for a 37inch LCD at mumbai airport? Also, do airlines charge extra to carry items like this?
IMHO duty is same for anything brought in as personal luggage by traveler (carry in or checked in luggage).

So, for LCD TV, you wont pay any duty up to 25k, above that its 37.5%. For a 70 K TV, you will pay duty on 45k (70-25).

That is assuming you are are not bringing anything else.

Rules : CLEARANCE OF INCOMING PASSENGERS

OTOH, other then TV you will have to buy international warranty. I have used Mack in past and it works out great since B&H has a branch office in Pune so claiming warranty is hassle free.
