Got the item today! Duty Rs 92 only
And the funny thing is that the delivery guy collected only the Customs Duty and Handling Charge, total Rs 142. They totally forgot about the actual shipping cost!

An Orange San Francisco aka ZTE Blade aka Dell XCD35!

Rs 7500 for the phone + Rs 142 ( Rs 92 Duty and Rs 50 Clearing Charge ) + Rs 507 for shipping from UK to Cochin = ~ Rs 8150
But they forgot about the shipping charge, maybe they'll come tomorrow to collect it. So as of now total cost is 7.65k

^ Ya awesome price for the phone! But the phone is out of stock in most online stores in UK now. People are selling the phone for about 130+ GBP on eBay UK now. Luckily I got it for 100 GBP in an auction.
Btw unlocked the phone and now using Vodafone. Working fine.

Custom duty for mobile phones is very less. I read it is 0.6%. Thats where you saved lot of money. Congratz on the purchase
did u know the customs and other charges beforehand ?? or u just have to pay whatever they charge once they get it to india ?
i got zune using ICC PPO and read somewhere that customs is 13% and sum1 here was charged just 11% using ICC PPO but they finally charged me 25% .. it was sort of random amount they end up asking for

^ Yes I had checked with Aramex and few others before itself. The duty is only 1% and 3% cess on the duty.
Aramex provides the customs receipt and all other details along with the package. I will upload them after sometime.
You can check here for the duty for other items -- globaltaxguru.in

^ Yes your suggestion was really helpful. Thanks once again!
Usually when I get items through courier, the package is never opened, but this time it was opened for checking and outside of the box was slightly damaged. Although Aramex repacked it beautifully.
And here is the copy of the Customs Duty receipt they gave.
