Packed Items at Indian Customs

Packed Items at Indian Customs - Armed Person with Mask

I am travelling back to India soon. Just eager to know, if the packed items carried in checked in or carry-on luggage will face a problem at Indian Customs?

I did purchase few things in form of cosmetics/grooming (not exceeding $25 each) as gift items for my friends/family and I am willing to keep the packing. I didn't keep the bill/receipt as well.

It's my first travel experience. I am sorry if it sounds silly question.
