Posts per page are still 10

I have this code:

query_posts(array(
    'paged' => $paged,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 6,
    'cat' => $term_id,
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'post_type' => 'post'
));

while (have_posts()) {
    the_post();
    ...
}

But I still get 10 posts not only 6. Also get_query_var('posts_per_page', 1) get me value 10 instead of 6. Why?

This is happening on the category.php page, on the homepage it is working correctly.

This one will work for you. modify direct global variable.

    global $query_string;
    query_posts("{$query_string}&posts_per_page=6");

    while (have_posts()) {
        the_post();
        ...
    }

You are still using the default query. Use this instead:

    // The Query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'paged' => $paged,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 6,
    'cat' => $term_id,
    'orderby' => 'date',
    'order' => 'DESC',
    'post_type' => 'post'
    ));

// The Loop
if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {

Try this 

$args = array ( 
      'paged' => $paged,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => 6,
      'cat' => $term_id,
      'orderby' => 'date',
      'order' => 'DESC',
      'post_type' => 'post'
    );
 $query = new WP_Query($args);
 if ( $query->have_posts() ) : 
   while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post();
   /* Your Code */
   endwhile; 
 endif ;
