if you check the domain "infoservices.in"  with  dnsstuff.com  you can
see no MX for that domain.
But still mail is coming at user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    we are using it for
our official purposes and infoservices.in is our official site too.

I wounder how mail is still coming with out MX ? could any one kindly
explain ?

This is to summarize...
If no MX is found for your domain, the MTA will sent the mail to the resolving host.

$ host -t MX infoservices.in
infoservices.in has no MX record
$ host infoservices.in
infoservices.in has address 85.199.129.73

So, your mail to user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will be delivered to "user" at 85.199.129.73.

Cheers.
