Hi Vishal, while I do not have any specific advice, I do have a couple of things that we should always do when considering an upgrade

* Always always do a dry run first in a test instance, before perfoming any changes or updates
* Make sure that your add-ons will be compatible in the new Jira version that you plan to update to
* Make sure that you are using a compatible database and Java version with the new Jira version
