There are solid state relays available in my country but can you provide me how we can interface them with our traditional relays(10amps)? Also can you provide wiring diagrams to interface 10amps relays with solid state relays.

given that SSR will take a 3vDC signal to operate it, then the example sketch attached should be sufficient info for connection.
Just remember you're dealing with 240VAC on one side of this (usual cautions apply -e.g. it will kill you and you are dealing with water and electricity). Best to get a qualified electrician to set it up for you.
Other thing to note is most SSRs of that form factor have a metal plate on the bottom. This is meant as a secure mounting (use it so - you don't want 240VAC flapping around on the end of some terminals floating in mid air) That plate is also meant for bolting to a heatsink. If the load is heavy current, then the SSR will get warm or hot.....mount it on a heatsink if you are in doubt about the SSR's heat load.
Read the spec sheet on the SSR. It 'should' tell you when you need to add an external heatsink.
Lastly, the heatsink and or SSR mounting plate should be normally earthed to the AC mains earth....
Repeat - if you are not competent or qualified to work on AC mains - pay for an electrician....its cheaper than a fine or a funeral.
