I am developing an iOS app which needs to be tested in a device which is present in another country with the client. If needed I can get the UDID and other details of the device. Can I install my under-development app on that device without publishing my App.? If yes, please explain the procedure. Thank you all in advance.

In fact, iPhones work a bit differently—to install an iPhone app, you have to go to the App Store on an iPhone and install the app. You can't just sign into a web browser with your Apple ID and click a button to remotely install apps, as you can on Android.
You can distribute applications using ad hoc without going through the app store, but you are limited to a maximum of 100 devices. With this method you can distribute your application from a web site, email, etc. The method is for internal distribution in companies with more than 500 employees.
"No" is the short answer. If you have a Corporate iOS Developer account you can package up apps to be installed directly onto any iOS device (restricted by license) of any employee of your company.
In iOS: Turn on Automatic App Downloads Open the “Settings” app and choose “iTunes & App Store” Look under “Automatic Downloads” and toggle “Apps” to be ON. Optional and data plan dependent: decide whether to “Use Cellular Data” or not.
Yes, you can. To do this you will need the UDID of all the devices where the App will be installed, and then you need to generate an Ad Hoc provisiong profile for those devices.

To send the app to your client, go to XCode > Product (Menu) > Archive.
Then open Organizer > Archives (Tab) > Distribute. Follow on-screen instructions. This will generate an .ipa file (executable) which you can then send to your testers (through email, or whatever other mean). He will have to install this .ipa by dragging and dropping it onto iTunes.
For further discussions look at this question.

Yes, you can.
1)Register client's device into device list in your developer account on apples site
2)Generate Ad-Hoc provision profile and send to your client with *.ipa file
3)Test it
Also take a look at 3-rd party services like TestFlight - http://testflightapp.com .Very popular and convenient way to work with beta-testers all around the world.

Answer is yes. You need to get UDID and add it to your developer portal as testing device. Download the provisioning profile and rebuild the app with revised provisioning profile. This app can be send to client for testing.
