But I an not being able to make task under story as child instead it is only allowing to to directly making sub-tasks  (there is no option of making tasks under story

Hi Ghulam - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

First, you will not be able to modify the Issue Hierarchy to add new levels on a Free account. 

And second, you should not be nesting Tasks under Stories - that is not standard Agile practice. They are at the same level.

Welcome @Ghulam Sarwar 

If you are using premium version of Jira, you can indeed change the hierarchy and even modify it by your preferences.

Hi @Ghulam Sarwar

see this thread for a comprehensive discussion on the matter and possible ways forward.

Hope this helps,

Best,
