Yes you can bring it. Do not mount the scope on the gun or present it together along with with the gun to customs. Keep both of then seperately packed. If kept seperate then scope is considered as just an optical device.

Then bringing in scope should not normally be a problem. But not sure about pellets or darts, may read this thread http://indiansforguns.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3481. It is mentioned one may bring in 2000 pellets and customs officer may confiscate a larger or even lesser quantity than this number. It's entirely on your luck. If one searches for 9305 under Chapter 93 at http://compendium.iift.ac.in/ it appears (pellets)ammunition for air guns are most likely a restricted item.
