Hi,
I did purchase online from ebay on 24th April 2013. Its received me on 22nd May 2013.

I have charged Rs. 10,575/- in cash without receipt as a custom duty for that. Its a very big amount for me.

The actual MRP of macbook Rs.20,500/- & i am paying more than half of the purchase item. Its old & used electronics item.

Can anyone help me on that?

It can be upto 30 %, As a Last circular by custom office the exemption value was full on mobile phones upto 31-3-2013, hope so it won't more then 30% now.

To calculate any duty amount for personal imports into India, fo to the website www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/

Fill up all the details needed there and you will be given the exact amount you maybe charged if the customs officer decides to charge your items. The duty amount shown on that website has a margin of + or - 10% error. I am saying this with lots of personal experience with all my purchases.
