Will i have to make some thing comment in .htaccess file.

Thanks,

Since it is local install, look where you installed Apache. Look in the conf directory for httpd.conf. Edit the file, search for the line with mod_rewrite. It is likely commented out (line starts with #). If this is the case uncomment the line and restart Apache.

Done but not working

Beside enabling mod-rewrite, you need to change the AllowOverride of your Drupal folder so that .htaccess will take effective.

below is an example, change the directory "/" to where you install your Drupal

Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
/Directory
