Using FQ 1.15, I made a few tests of the above with the following tools
 gnc-fq-dump amfiindia <yoursymbol>
and
 echo '(amfiindia "<yoursymbol>")' | gnc-fq-helper
without a positive result, but e.g. 
 gnc-fq-dump amfiindia 103169
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: 103169               <=== required
      date: 02/03/2009           <=== required
  currency: INR                  <=== required
      last:                      <=\
       nav: 12.57                <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
works. so you should cross check your codes on 
http://amfiindia.com/portal/listcodemappings.asp

If that page shows your symbol and you can not get a quote with the above 
tools, you should contact the developer of the amfi module over 
http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/ .
