I think you should connect surge protector to your UPS and your system directly to UPS. It will not cause any harm to your system in any way.

Never connect a surge protector to a UPS, you run the risk of damaging your UPS. Your UPS is a surge protector, you also run the risk of damaging anything plugged into a surge protector that is plugged into a UPS.

Why do you want to plug a surge protector into your UPS? If you need more outlets buy a power cord splitter instead. They can be bought on Amazon for about $7.00US. That is what I did, I needed one extra outlet.

I recently brought a new PSU but it has a universal socket and in india we don't have such sockets normally so i thought i could buy a surge protector and connect that to my ups and connect my PSU power supply cord to surge protector which is connected to my UPS.

You should never plug your UPS into a surge protector or plug a surge protector in a UPS, you run the risk of damaging both your UPS and whatever is plug into the surge protector...Your UPS is a surge protector, plugging your UPS into a surge protector will create to much resistance. In fact, never plug a surge protector into another surge protector, it can cause a fire, I've seen it happen...
