OR
Just buy psu cable from any local pc shop,those 10A cable will also work fine as a 550w psu will never draw 10A current even at 100% load.Even 6A cable will work fine but 10A cable should have better build quality than 6A cable.
@SaiyanGoku my CX550 also came with 13A cable but currently I am using the usual 6A cable due to some other reason. CX550 has ~80% efficiency so even at full 550W load it will not draw more than ~690W & at 220V the max current drawn from wall socket/ups as per P=VI should be 3.14A.

Also I will need extension cord.online stores has many but most of them has 6AmP written in description
Is the plug rated 6/10A? Better buy a good one as no point saving few rupees to take a chance with pc system. I bought a 16A 240V flat pin to round pin convertor plug for ~Rs.80 from local electric shop.

I shared above the pic ,please check ,should I use it?
Any "good 6A plug" should work fine,is it good(I mean ISI mark on box etc,just buying a cheap open plug without even any box is probably not good).

Here people charging 50 RS and when you hold it you feel like you have nothing in the hand.looks and feel very cheap
It will work but without the 3rd pin you won't get any electrical ground protection for PC.

Atleast can I test it now that is my cpu working fine or not ????what will gonna happen if I will not have electric ground support?
Without ground protection there is a risk of electric shock in case of any electric malfunction.

kamehameha!!
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT power on your system without a ground pin. Components can go bad even with minor static build up.
i'll check tonight. i had to pick this converter as the other converters were too large and ate up 1.5times normal socket size. so had issues with plugging in monitor to ups.
You can use some extension cord/box for that but only connect monitor & nothing else to it. Also,do note the monitor power consumption & add it to pc power consumption to know if ups can provide backup in case of power cut during max load(like playing when processor & graphics card are under heavy load).
