Higher megapixels is not always a good thing. Many people think that higher megapixels will lead to a better picture but in reality if the sensor is the same size and you put more megapixels on it then it will lead to more noisy pictures.
With that said, Canon makes some really great cameras and both the models you mentioned take very good pictures. The A650 is much better than the sx100 but it is also larger and heavier.
The prices you mentioned in rupees are much more than what we pay here in the US (20k is about $500 and 17k is about $425) both are overpriced by US standards but the Sx100 is MUCH more overpriced because it can be bought here for about $207.
The biggest problems with the A650 is that it has rather sluggish performance. It takes the camera longer to process the 12 megapixel photo so the camera will be slower than the tx100. The tx100 takes a long time to recharge its flash so it takes much longer while shooting night time photos.
You may want to look at the Canon S5 which is much better than both of these cameras and should have a price in between the 2.
Hope this helps
