Amritsar, located in Punjab, does not experience the noon sun directly overhead due to its northern latitude, which is around 31.6 degrees north. The sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) during the summer solstice, but as one moves northward, the sun's zenith position shifts southward. As a result, in Amritsar, the sun is at an angle during noon, making it impossible for the sun to be directly overhead at any time of the year.

Is the sun at noon at the horizon?
If the Sun is overhead, it is "noon". There are complications due to exactly how we define noon and time zones, but that's probably a good enough answer. If you want to be more exact it is noon according to the "local apparent solar time". The sun can only ever be overhead if you live within about 23.4 degrees of the equator (namely between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn). Even there, the sun will only be overhead on one or two days of the year at any location.

The day in march on which the sun is overhead at noon at the equator is called the autumnal solstice?

In September is the sun ever directly overhead at 90 degree angle at noon?
Sure. At the time the sun reaches the Autumnal Equinox, around September 22 or 23 each year, when the sun crosses the equator, then wherever on the equator it happens to be noon at that moment, the sun is directly overhead there. Also, don't forget about the 22 or 23 September days before that, when the sun is slightly north of the equator, plus the 7 or 8 September days after that, when the sun is slightly south of the equator. There are bunches of places within those latitudes that will have noon-sun overhead, once during the month.
