What is exactly the problem with mail.nic.in ? Because if it is work with gmail, is work with your smtp (just change username, password, port) or it is perhaps because your smtp require certificat ?

It can be because of various reasons. You need to look at them one by one.
Is the port open? Firewall permissions in place?
Further make sure you have configured SMTP configuration in Web.Config:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp from="abc@somedomain.com">
       <network host="somesmtpserver" port="25" userName="name" password="pass" defaultCredentials="true" />
     </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>
