Hi @Prabhu Chilukuri 

Please see this thread -> https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/import-a-list-of-issues-including-sub-tasks-in-one-import/qaq-p/1430225

and especially this document https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/import-data-from-a-csv-file/. As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- states, and I quote him:

I'm not sure the sub-task section is too well written, as a lot of people seem to struggle with it, but this is a less fussy example of a file that will create 5 issues, two tasks and 3 sub-tasks:

summary, issue id, parent id
story1, 1,,
subtask-1-1, 4, 1
story2, 8,,
subtask-2-1, 16, 8
subtask-1-2, 32, 1
Note that the issue id will be imported into "external id" as well, and the "parent id" is not imported directly, because it's only used to make the parent/sub-task link.  Also, you'll need some other columns for issue type etc.  I really did build that file to show you the parent/sub-task structure, nothing else
