Default Using a 16A appliance in a 13A socket?

Not a lot.
I'm assuming the voltages and cps are the same. If its fused at 13 amp then
why not. I'm assuming that you can fit normal fuses to their 16 amp plugs of
course If its not fused then that really depends on the safety rules over
there. Just don't call out the repair man as they might be a bit expensive!

I have a reverse query

Sir what will happen if a European oven with 13A main fuse rating is used
in India where Standard power plugs are rated 16A after changing European
plug to the Indian plug
