It somewhat depends. The primary question is are there in fact two accounts in Azure AD? Let’s parse out possible explanations based on the potential answers to that question: Yes there are two accounts in Azure AD and that’s intentionally done If there are two accounts then out of the box people picker will pick up both accounts. Based on some initial research, I wasn’t able to find a way to filter out users from a specified domain, but that could warrant further investigation. Yes there are two accounts in Azure AD and that’s not intentionally done If the user has two accounts, but you don’t want them to have two accounts, remove the redundant account and clear browser cache. No there’s only one account for this user in Azure AD Clear browser cache, duplicate account is most likely being stored there.

As far as I know, when you have a domain from MS, by default you will have .onmicrosoft.com appended behind your domain It seems to me while creating your account you specified @xyz in it. are you sure it is not tapan.mallick@xyz.onmicrosoft.com ?

Yes you nare right . when i have a domain from MS, by default i will have .onmicrosoft.com appended behind my domain . But once i synch my company active directory with O365, then it's showing only my company emaild and user name on home page and every where . And i am login to my account through my tapan.mallick@xyz .com not with onmicrosoft account . Only facing the problem in People picker . getting duplicate user name with same name but different email id .

No necessarily you have to buy domain from MS only. GoDaddy is partnered with O365.
