I have a Frontech Jil 2414i psu rated at 450watts but on psu
at stqrting row its written 450W and there are 2or 3 rows with something written in Volts and Amperes and in last row for max output its written 240W.
what does it mean that 450W to 240W..

With crap quality PSUs, question isn't if it blows up but when it blows up. So far, you've been lucky that your PSU has kept working. But luck eventually runs out and with that firecracker powering your PC, it can fry your entire PC when it goes sky high. At worst, it will catch fire as well, just like seen here,

You can cheap out on every other component inside the PC except PSU. Since PSU...
Here's the label image of your crap quality PSU,

And now, explanation:
The last column shows that +5V rail and +3.3V rail combined can output max 240W of power. +12V rail, according to the label, can output max 224W (12V times 19A = 224W).

For what reason Frontech included +5V and +3.3V rails max watts figure, that i don't know. But +5V rail is used to power USB, PS/2, HDD, SSD and ODD. +3.3V rail is used to power logic chips on MoBo and PCI/PCI-E cards (e.g RAM). And +12V rail is used to power CPU, MoBo, GPU and case fans.

PSU is the most important component inside the PC since it powers everything and if you care about your system, you do not want to use that Frontech junk that can fry your PC at any given moment. That being said, for good quality PSU, you can go for Seasonic S12II-520,
amazon.in: https://www.amazon.in/Seasonic-S12II-520-Watt-Power-Supply/dp/B005O8PNSM

All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic while i too have S12II-520 powering my AMD build. Full specs with pics in my sig.
 
So that means that this Psu wont be able to cope up with a Zotac GTX 1050Ti OC edition which uses 75W of power.
I have been using this Psu since long time and currently With an i5-3470 and Asus Gt 1030 it hasn't fried my pc but for using gtx 1050ti i need a better psu i think.
 


No thinking necessary - - it's a poor quality PSU - - I wouldn't have it anywhere near my rig even though It's just a standard PC never used for gaming.

You can cheap out on every other component inside the PC except PSU. Since PSU powers everything, it is the most important component inside the PC. Also, while the PSU warranty covers the PSU itself and you can RMA the blown PSU, the PSU warranty doesn't cover any other component the PSU fried.

Most people learn the hard way not to cheap out on a PSU when low quality PSU blows and takes part of the system or the whole system with it. Even entire houses have been burned down because of the fire low quality PSU caused when it blowed up.

Like it or not, if you want your PC to work for years to come without any risk of fire and/or damage to your components, you need to hand out some money for good quality PSU. I'm not talking that you need to go with the best PSU available, e.g Seasonic PRIME Titanium which costs 20500+ rupees. Seasonic S12II-520 i linked above costs 6500 rupees and is more than enough for your PC, both wattage and build quality wise.
(Oh, i linked Amazon India above since that Frontech unit is available only in India.)

As far as that Cooler Master unit goes that was mentioned above, i'd avoid that unit. PSU's are guilty until proven innocent. And without any reputable review it's hard to say if it would be any better than your current Frontech unit.
For Seasonic S12II-520 i suggested, here's JonnyGuru review for you to read, so you can see yourself how well it fares (small spoiler: it's the best group-regulated PSU ever made),
