In India, 'Respected Sir' may be OK. I don't know. But in Western English-speaking countries, 'Dear Sir' is standard and 'Respected Sir' sounds strange.

Indians still carry on the The East India Company English from the early 19th century. But I can say it's changing fast especially, with the new generation due to the opening up of communication channels.
I must say it's difficult for most Indians to manage to use correct English inspite of huge efforts and time that they put into it.
