contents Neutron deficient nuclei from $^{74}$Se$-^{196}$Hg are thought to be produced by $γ$-induced reactions ($γ$,n), ($γ$,p) and ($γ,α$) processes. The relatively high abundance of $^{113}$In odd A $p$-nuclei has inspired to study its production processes. As reaction with $γ$-beam is difficult to perform in the laboratory, $γ$-induced reaction rate is calculated from the inverse reaction data employing reciprocity theorem. Stacked foil activation method was used to measure the $^{113}$In($α,γ$) and $^{113}$In($α$, n) reactions cross-section near the astrophysical energies. Theoretical statistical model calculations were performed with different nuclear input parameters and compared with the experimental results. An appropriate $α$-optical potential has been identified from the ($α,γ$) and ($α$, n) fitting, which provides the major source of uncertainty in the statistical model calculations. The other nuclear input parameters like level density, and $γ$-ray strength function were also constrained for theoretical calculations. $^{113}$In($α,γ$)$^{117}$Sb and $^{117}$Sb($α,γ$)$^{113}$In reaction rates were calculated using best-fitted input parameters.
