As someone already said if you are fine with your current PSU, you can keep it. It has all the capacity you need for your parts. It doesn't really matter that your GPU doesn't have a 6-Pin plug, since almost all the 1050tis that have it, can't draw much extra power because Nvidia has put a limit to the GPU's TDP in the BIOS and can't be exceeded. However keep in mind that your PSU doesn't have quality components inside and it will age much faster than better PSUs, especially if you push it to its limit, although this won't likely happen with your system.

So you can keep your current PSU but have in mind that you may have to replace it in the future if it gets old enough and starts loosing its stability or if you upgrade your GPU with...

I don't know about prices in India but I've seen good prices worldwide for the Corsair CX550M. It's a pretty decent bronze unit, it has a good price, it's based on a modern platform, it has a 5 year warranty and finally it's way better than what you already have. I've used this PSU in a lot of builds for customers lately without issues. Since as you already said, prices are pretty high over there, getting a better PSU than the CX550M will probably cost you a lot more. Good luck.
