This shock may not be from the pc smps always. Some times it may be from the connected devices like router or printer. Remove all the connected devices and check for 'shock'. Last day I felt shock while moving my pc. After removing the printer the shock went away. You can connect a wire from the chassis to any earth point to avoid this.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
Get an electrician and get your socket and earth point checked.

Either get your Electrical Connections right or Cover your cabinet and never touch it again when powered.

My PC does it some times
BTW it (PSU pin) has no third pin, by that i mean it has no earthing pin. I assume it is due to that correct?
It it doesn't have a third pin. it it cannot be grounded. Only thing you do is connect a wire from cabinet to ground (please verify if this it right).

Yea, Im sure. When I first saw it, I thought it was detachable, but when i tried to find the third pin in the box, didnt find it
Sorry if I confuses but I meant the pin which we connect to the wall socket..that didnt have a third pin.

Your pc don't need to be in the ground floor. Just connect a wire to one of the screws of the case and connect the other end to the body of your ups or directly to the earth point of a three pin socket.
On a side note, this earthing may be due to the moist atmosphere also. I have never experienced a shock before the rainy season.

One of my neighbour also experiences electric shocks on his cabinet (even I've been shocked multiple times
) and we dont have moist environment here in Jodhpur.

Ask an electrician to get the earthing of your house checked. We mostly get a shock due to improper earthing. And if you are running your PC w/o proper earthing then be careful. Improper earthing can burn/damage your PC components.
I already faced such issues with my SMPS and Motherboard.

see this :
Seasonic S12II 520 Watts PSU Review by Dibyendu Das | Flipkart.com
the review is for the same model except that its 520 Watts.
IFF your Home Sockets are properly Grounded, this is the problem , IMO.
hope it solves your problem.

Yeah thank you, I believe they are properly grounded, didnt get shocks from PS3 or tatasky...If I use another cable (from local shop) will it cause any harm to my components??
