When it comes to UPS i would suggest to buy a really good one.. This is the main thing protecting all the expensive parts from any electrical surges.
I would recommend a line interactive UPS

APC Back-UPS BX1100C-IN 1100VA​

Is Rs 6600 a good price for it? Or if anywhere it's being sold cheaper.
 
Do not look for anything other than an APC! Buy the 600VA model if you're on a budget and your power needs are not high.
Cheaper UPS die in a few months in my experience while the APCs are performing after years of use. I use the 600 and 1100VA models for my basic and gaming PC respectively.

My pc needs 550w, so 1kva is minimum, how is microtek?

On a side note, how many mins of backup are you getting with apc 1100va?
 
Microteks will stop giving any meaningful bakcup after 8-9 months. For a 550W PSU and no monitor connected to the UPS, the 600VA APC will do the job. Will give you ~10 mins of backup. The 1kva will give you around 20 is my guesstimate.

I have a 750W PSU connected to the 1100VA APC and no monitor. I generally get ~10-15 mins backup.

This backup if 10-20 mins is with normal browsing/watching videos etc or with gaming?

I used an APC800va powering a corsair hx650/rm650 for half a decade, with all peripherals connected to it. As long as your system peak power draw doesn't cross the rated wattage of the ups you'll have no issues. You'll start seeing your pc crash when UPS is not able to supply power.
I'm using a numeric digital 1000v plus since 2018. No smart features, bought it for 4k, battery replacement once in 2~3years or as they go bad. I need ups backup for few seconds till the generator kicks in.
