Good!
Any idea how much SCJP will cost me in Chennai(India)
nope, sorry.
what all topic I have to prepare and how much time it'll take for prepration for working person like me.

have a look at this site.
Time? I'd say it depends on you're experience with java. If you know nothing about the language, it'll take you a bit longer. It also depends on how much time you want to devote for studies. It's all up to you, but I recommend to take it slow, understand the concepts and do many mock exams.
Any other useful tips and suggestion are also welcome
sure!
