Firstly, have a really good trip.
Don’t go down the fake carnet route - nowadays the world is connected and all it takes is one person to check the carnet is real and that is both bikes gone and you probably in prison.
As I understand the situation the carnet deposit should be repayable if you return the bike to India, scrap the bike or pay the import fees on the bike at your destination (don’t forget you may not be able to import the vehicle permanently as it may not meet European standards - Noraly from Itchy Boots couldn’t keep her Himalayan on he road in Netherlands because of this).
Alternatively you can pay the import duty at each border and then claim it back when you leave.
