Sorry for this question as i am very new to Visual studio with c# knowledge. I am single tester in organization.

The requirement is i need to test an application using Visual studio 2013 with Specflow features. My workaround is that i need to buy standalone Licence for Visual studio professional 2013, so that i can use specflow. (I already tried running tests in visual studio EXPRESS but specflow extensions are not supported). Are there any restrictions for standalone licence? Please correct me.

No, VS 2013 Express does not support extensions. So working within SpecFlow will prove difficult. http://blogs.msmvps.com/carlosq/2014/05/07/visual-studio-express-edition-doesn-t-support-extensions-despite-its-extension-manager/

Is there any reason it has to be 2013? I'd recommend downloading a copy of the 2015 Community edition - which is free and supports extensions.
