Hi,
Could I know how can I control the AC line(230V-13A)( I mean cut off and on) with the help of SSR relay and which rating relay should I use?I want to control it. I mean when I sentt signal to on, line will on, when sent off, the line will be cut off

Which SSR relay? Typically, they have a 5V side. Connect one side to a digital pin. Connect the other side to ground. Activate the relay by setting the digital pin HIGH, and deactivate it by setting the pin LOW.
which rating relay should I use?
One that matches the load.
Hi, There are many SSR types out there. A common one is about 5 by 6 cm and looks like this:
Some How-to about controlling power with Arduino is on the http://ArduinoInfo.Info WIKI See:
http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/ArduinoPower
There are also boards with several lower-power SSR's like this one: http://goo.gl/9o5IQ
What are you trying to control??
DISCLAIMER: Mentioned stuff from my own shop...
DIY mains switches are not a good idea because the voltages involved are potentially lethal and it is easy to create a circuit that works, but exposes people and components to mains voltages. Your safest solution would be to use something like the PowerSwitch Tail, which is designed to solve this problem for you.
