The tracking page is showing "Record item customs information (Inb),Air,CED KOLKATA,Retention reason : Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner" from 1st April. Should I need to worry or just wait?

You need to do both: Worry and Wait. What is the product and what USD value have you given?

It's a memory card, and I don't know the given USD value, but it's not above Rs.1500. The seller said "hi friend please do not worry, we send by personal"!

Memory card is a small shipment, so the only reason may be the declared shipment value, i always instruct the seller to declare small value between 4-8 USD. So, far have not been charged any duty.

Then I will wait till next week. One of my other parcel is also showing the same statement, maybe there are too many parcels and less officials for check and clearance?

Only parcels which end up getting charged customs duty get held up for many days, otherwise normal shipments get cleared within 2 days. After receiving the product, do post the amount of import duty you paid and also what was the USD value on the shipment. Will be helpful for other members in future.

Bought a firewall from China. Cost me some 150 USD - advice given by @silverbyte. Cost me 2K in customs. Shipped by DHL. Was marked as TV box.

You cannot escape import duty with DHL, Fedex, Aramex and other private couriers. Get the products shipped via registered post air mail like Hong Kong or China registered air mail or EMS and if the shipment is not given a high value, there will not be any customs charged.
