Recently my 600w smps burnt due to reason unknown I guess because of my new graphics gtx 760 and was only 3 months old. I got lucky somehow that it didn't affect my other components.It took almost 3 weeks to be repaired and now I am so afraid to risk it by playing any games. When I start any games I am playing in fear that It might occur again There are a lot of good games releasing now and I have some already. I am dying to play but I can't muster courage to play more than 5 minutes
It's like I have what I want in my hands but still can't able to touch it. plz help anyone

Help with what? If you buy cheap PSUs chances are you are going to have issues. If you buy something of quality it generally gives you problem free computing for years.

my psu's cost is 3800 INR . It's iball sprinter 600w PSU with dual v rails. And this is what generally available in our area. It's the same price as the corsair vs 650. so i think that's not cheap.

This is a list of power supplies according to quality.
Since you did not post your power supply brand, we can only guess if it is OK or not.
If yours in in tier 3 or above, you will be fine. If it is tier 4 or 5 you need to replace it with a good unit.

Or you can post back what power supply you have and we can advise you if it is good or not.

Im just gonna go out on a limb and say that the iball would be one of those PSUs youd replace immediately. Even if its new. The only review I could find was from 2009. If its the same as Corsair, opt for the Corsair, guaranteed its better than an iball whatever.

I wouldn't recommend sticking with that psu no 80 plus certification and definitely not a known name brand. Try and see how much you can get a seasonic or xfx psu because those are in the upper teirs for psu

All of the reviews available are old. IBall at that time was a crap brand. Their are no reviews available for their new units.
But ask yourself this question.
Is it worth losing the rest of your system over using a questionable power supply?
My opinion is NO. I would replace it as soon as possible. Why risk it killing your motherboard, processor, memory, video card or any combination ,or all of them.
