Send a electronic item through courier from one city to other, one state to other

In India if someones wants to send one or more electronic item from one city to other , from one state to other then how can he or she send it. I mean is there any risk in sending it through courier and How is the octroi applicable on it?
But someone told me it is illegal to send these items through courier as taxes are different for every state. Is this true?

Send by courier
no problems till date, i always prefer DTDC anyday
the items can be delivered within 2-3days at most

acually it is illegal to send it across state w/o octroi

but people send it, me included

but just ensure that if u sendin it by courier, where u have topack it urself, put it in thermocol box with bubble wrap
