Just 1500 per hour? Don't sell yourself short.

36 (an hour rate) times 8 (hours in a day) times 5 (days in a week) equals $1140.00. A project can easily approach into to the thousands. most designers don't stick to their own hourly rate.

1500 rupee?

$36 is pretty low for an hourly rate, unless someone is sending you a steady stream of work. Are you making a decent living on that?
I've read that a freelancer can reasonably expect to bill 25 hours out of a 40 hour week (I need to find the source for that). The rest of the time goes to administration.

that's way to low. work out how many hours a week work you get or want to get. work out how much you need to earn to live at the level you need/want and then work the hourly rate from there. you're making them good money and saving them wages, holiday pay, insurance, etc etc, so don't undersell yourself. if they're asking then they're happy using you and therefore happy paying what you ant or close to it.
also, when i was freelancing i offered a cheaper hourly for clients that got me in for extended periods. the old give and take.
