We developed a generic formalism to estimate the event rate and the redshiftdistribution of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in our previous publication (Bera etal. 2016), considering FRBs are of an extragalactic origin. In this paper wepresent (a) the predicted pulse widths of FRBs by considering two differentscattering models, (b) the minimum total energy required to detect events, (c)the redshift distribution and (d) the detection rates of FRBs for the Ooty WideField Array (OWFA). The energy spectrum of FRBs is modelled as a power law withan exponent $-\alpha$ and our analysis spans a range $-3\leq \alpha \leq 5$. Wefind that OWFA will be capable of detecting FRBs with $\alpha\geq 0$. Theredshift distribution and the event rates of FRBs are estimated by assuming twodifferent energy distribution functions; a Delta function and a Schechterluminosity function with an exponent $-2\le \gamma \le 2$. We consider anempirical scattering model based on pulsar observations (model I) as well as atheoretical model (model II) expected for the intergalactic medium. Theredshift distributions peak at a particular redshift $z_p$ for a fixed value of$\alpha$, which lie in the range $0.3\leq z_p \leq 1$ for the scattering modelI and remain flat and extend up to high redshifts ($z\lesssim 5$) for thescattering model II.
