I have task which is child to a feature. I want to create multiple task as child to the existing task through csv import. Please note, I need task as child to existing task NOT sub-task to existing Task. Can some share some inputs?

Hi @Vaibhav Swarup 

Welcome to the community.

On which level is this relation Epic - Child?

See this KB in relation, https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/fix-epic-link-csv-import-format-errors-jira/

This is pretty straightforward to do. Since you already have the parent by Issue Key, all you need to do is add a column to your CSV import sheet called "Parent Key" or something like that. Put the parent Issue Key into that column. In the mapping, you want to map this new column to the Parent field. It will then create the parent-child relationship for you on import.
