Getting two iPhones and selling one of them is a good idea, it will help you to cover up your cost of shipping and customs duty. @KK

Then I would better suggest him to get it gift wrapped because an iPhone 4 with a contract would not cost more than $250. Which means around some. Rs. 10000. Which can be later get it unlocked here.

I will not suggest to carry it in the bag, because usually they scan the baggage and find out if you are carrying any electronics. If you carry phone with yourself, they will assume its a used phone for your personal use. They allow products and gifts upto Rs. 25,000 duty free, duty will be charged if the total amount exceeds Rs. 25,000. In addition, you are also allowed to carry a laptop (duty free). If he is not bringing any more dutiable products, it will be fine to carry it in the bag. He will be alright with 2 phones in his pocket.

But, I will suggest him not to bring it in a sealed box. Take the iPhone out of the box and carry in pocket rather than in baggage. If they put the bag under a scanner and find a sealed iPhone box, they may charge duty. If you need the box, he can carry the empty box and accessories in the bag.
