Hi Tapan, I check your code what you have sent yesterday so the problem is related to in your code ,you are using SPContext.Current.Site.ID and SPContext.Current.Web.ID. You can't SPContext.Current in timer jobs - timer jobs don't run within a HTTP context, so these values aren't initialised. To get a web or site, you'll need to store the site and URL or ID somewhere that the timer job can retrieve. Thanks, RAJKIRAN Please accept this answer if you are ok with this.

Hi Tapan Mallick, you forgot to do null check, any object before access its required to do null check and identity why that object is null and check its required to be null / not null in your requirement
