Phimosis requires surgery max amount of the time.If you cannot retract at all,or are in a lot of pain,the surgery is best options.It is not an emergency but you should get it done to avoid infection/pain.Its a day procedure and will take a short time.

If there is formation of scar tissue then im afraid that surgery is your best option.
Im not familiar with doctors in Ranchi so wont be able to help you much there.
