Looks like the UTF-8 locale en_IN has not been generated on your system. So then generate it:

sudo locale-gen en_IN

Edit:

The error messages reveal a bug in Software Updater. A workaround to get rid of the error messages is to change LANG to "en_IN.UTF-8".

sudo update-locale LANG=en_IN.UTF-8

Edit II:

To fix the new problem, try these commands:

sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update

Thanks for the answer. But, it's not working for me. I run sudo apt-get update and then execute command specified by you in above answer and then run update-manager. Unfortunatly, it still gives same error :( – Rishi Pithadiya Apr 21 '16 at 13:22
@fidato: Can you please run the locale command and show us the output by editing your question. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Apr 21 '16 at 13:33
I had updated the question! – Rishi Pithadiya Apr 21 '16 at 13:36
@fidato: This is weird. Can you also show us the output from the locale -a command. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Apr 21 '16 at 14:33
I had updated the question with output of locale -a command. – Rishi Pithadiya Apr 21 '16 at 15:23
@fidato: Looks as it should... As an experiment, can you please run the command sudo update-locale LANG=en_IN.UTF-8. It would update /etc/default/locale, and next time you log in, the output from locale ought to be different. It would be interesting to know if that makes Software Updater to shut up. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Apr 21 '16 at 16:17
@fidato: I could reproduce the problem. Please see my updated answer. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Apr 21 '16 at 17:44
I am getting Could not recognize package information error after applying following changes. Do you have any idea regarding above error? – Rishi Pithadiya Apr 22 '16 at 05:40
@fidato: Yes, see my latest edit of the answer. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Apr 22 '16 at 16:52

Change /etc/default/locale settings to en_IT.UTF-8:

LANG="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_IT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_IT.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_IT:en"
