lets make it clear:
your ups is having foreign socket.

monitor power adapter has indian pin.

Your spike buster having indian sockets . you have inserted monitor power only in the spike.

and your cpu power cord is with the ups.

If ur UPS output is foreign plug then UPS company must bundle the same type of cable at-least in number of two.....Use that instead of montitor's original one..If the UPS purchased in india,Go and claim to the dealer.

I'v seen this in Proview / PowerTree model.
