I understand that your suggestion works good with multiple working periods. But, I am interested to know is there any method to assign 2 different working hours like we assign multiple calendars?
Thanks for the suggestion. Your suggestion sounds good and it can be implemented as a temporary solution. But, I am interested to know whether is there any option available in reality to have multiple working periods in a project like multiple calendars?
Go to File > Options> Schedule and review your default calendar options for the project.
Most likely you will find that Hours per day is 24 hrs, therefore when you enter duration of 1 day, MSP translates it to 24 hrs and based on the activity calendar of 8 working hrs, this 24 hrs is spread over 3 days hence 3rd October finish.
Instead of entering 1 day as activity duration, try 8 hrs and your activity should finish on 1st October. When using multiple calendars for activities you might want to consider keeping your durations in hours and use a custom field to display duration in days based on the activity calendar.

My suggestion works with multiple working periods.
Enter your durations in hours and use a Custom Field to display durations in days. Hide the "duration in hours" column before issuing your schedule.
