Handling customs is a very confusing subject. Sometimes they send the parcel without even charging any custom fee.. And sometime they charge fee and that too is indefinite. Its recommended that smaller the parcel the better chance it have to go through customs. I would prefer to keep it below 1 kg.

Yes, you can receive gifts less than Rs 10,000 (price in the country from where the article is being sent) excluding air freight and postal charges but if your article exceeds this price (Rs 10,000), then you have to pay the custom duties.
