Let’s start with this statement: “We have published couple of free applications on the App Store and everything goes fine”. Now when approaching one customer, he told us that he heard that even we publish a free application, Apple can charge you as publisher. Well, we said, we never heard about that and it is not true and it never happens to us - but he insisted on this – therefore the questions is: “Is it possible that Apple is charging publishers of free applications under some circumstances (except of the annual fee for developer.apple.com)? ”
Thanks

I dont know where your client did read it, but apart from the anual fee, there's no other tax or price.
Maybe your client is confused with the developer fee?

I am developing one application for iOS. In that user can purchase doctor services. I dont have any idea about payment gateways. So, please suggest me which is the best payment gateway method and how to implement that in my iOS app. ( I am from India), i heard payment gateway methods depends upon the country.
There are quite a few - also depends on your country as not all providers cover all countries. Take a look at:
https://stripe.com/
https://www.braintreepayments.com/
and probably http://www.paypal.com
What you want is something that's easy to code for (securely) in iOS. All the above (as well as many others) have APIs and sample code that make connecting to process payments easy and secure.
EDIT
Just seen you've added that you're in India. Assuming that means that you want to process payments in India, then I think your options (as at July 2014) are more limited. Certainly stripe and braintree don't cover India. I believe PayPal do (although maybe not with their latest APIs), so that might be your best bet.

has somebody an idea how to distribute a specialized personal app?
AdHoc is possible only up to 100 devices. What to do when suddenly comes 1000 people?
In this time has nearly everybody his own website, what happened when tommorow wants everybody his own app ( and is not a company with business licence )?
Thank you for any answer, idea, opinion...
Based on your description, each of your 1000 people (clients) would need to have their own enterprise account.
Apps are different to websites though so your comparison isn't strictly accurate.

How long does the activation of the iOS Developer Program? So, how long does it take after you have purchased until you have access to iTunes Connect and your apps can upload?
It usually takes about between 24 hours and a few business days. I'm in the United States, I suspect it might take a little longer if you have to fax in international paperwork and the like.
Once your account is activated, be sure to take care of your contracts in iTunes Connect.
Patience is a virtue. If you're always rushing to push out apps, you're going to end up releasing buggy software. Take a deep breath and have a coffee or a beer. The folks at Apple will activate your account soon.
It will take a maximum of 24 hours. It depends a lot. Do a search and you will find many other questions similar to this.

So I'm going to do an app. It will have about 100 recipes, and so far I've only done 4. I need to have it submitted to the App Store tomorrow.
My question is, if I'm not done by then, could I get away with just polishing what I have and then submitting it? Would Apple or my customers hate my client?
It is very rare in software development to release an application without a few known defects, so long as those defects are not critical to the functionality of the application itself. This is why versioned releases exist. That being said, unless you have a clear understanding of what your client wants, via a customer statement, it may be hard to determine whether or not your client will respond in a positive manner.
If you're down to a crunch, polish up what you've got, make sure it works, and cross your fingers. Your other option would be to request pushing back the release date.
4 out of a 100 probably wont cut it though. :P

How is it possible to submit an app to the AppStore which is not for general use? For instance I might want to do an invite-only free trial before making the app generally available for a fee.
Or I might want to be able to give free copies to specific people for promotion. Are these kind of things possible?
Create an ad-hoc distribution.
It's all detailed very well in the iOS developer center, it's what you need to use for beta testing, etc.
Kevin's answered your first question: with regards to your second (giving free copies for promotion) - you can generate promotional codes once you've uploaded your app through iTunes Connect. You're allowed (I believe) to generate up to one hundred codes - this counter is reset every time you update your app.
