I have a point shapefile which was created from a text file in Excel using the delimited text layer plugin in QGIS. My problem is that I am getting a point shapefile but when I try to insert this in an India shapefile, the points do not overlay this shapefile. The projections are the same.

Depending on what options you have set in Settings -> Options -> CRS tab for new layers, the delimited text layer will get automatically a preset CRS, or you will be prompted for one.

Change the setting in Prompt for CRS, and choose the same CRS as the shapefile has.
