1.
Relieve one of one's duties:
To dismiss someone from employment
After the mistake, he was relieved of his duties.
2.
Usually we use 'hundred' when we count them: one, two, fifteen, etc.
We use 'hundreds' when we don't count them: Hundreds of birds landed to rest in my backyard. It means a lot.
So in your case
Rs.5500/- (Rupees Five thousands and five hundred only) is preferred.

a.We can use
'will be doing' to talk about something that will be in progress at a particular moment in the future. We can use 'will be doing' to talk about future events that are fixed or decided or to predict what is happening now. "Will be" is concerned with the sequence of events between the beginning and the end.
b. "Will" is used for essentially a statement of fact. You are giving information. or "Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help.
