One Laptop is allowed to be carried duty free per person over the age of 18 . These days the custom people are not at all concerned about the Laptop,as it is allowed duty free. The rule does not mention if it for gift or personal use. It just says you are allowed to carry one laptop into the country. Check http://www.cbec.gov.in/travellers.htm.
