We believe you shall be able to take it. We suggest you go by the ticketed allowance. http://checkininfo.com/flights-to-india/sfo-to-del-flights/ link might be helpful in this respect.

Most of US airlines, including United, do not provide weight limits for carry on baggage or personal items. However, these do have size limits which must be adhered to. We would suggest that you limit the carry-on weight to 7 kg, though this is not mandated by the airline.

The check in baggage allowance is free for certain customers only. These are Active US Miliary members or their dependents, MileagePlus Premier members. If you are any of these, then you are entitled to some free check in baggage allowance, depending on status level. So, please do let us know what MileagePlus membership you hold and whether you are active US military person or a dependent, or not.

Only 1 cabin bag is allowed free within size limit of 56, 35 and 23 cms. There is no free check in baggage allowance. You will have to pay for each bag you carry.
