If you look at your regex, you'll see that you require two dots (I added white spaces to identify them) in your url:

^((https?|ftp|smtp|http):\/\/)?(www.)?[a-z0-9]+   \.   [a-z]+(\/[a-zA-Z0-9#]+\/?)*   \.   (com|in)$

I recommend you to use https://regex101.com/ to check your regex.

But like George says, you can use commons regex for that purpose, instead of making a new one.

By the way, https? is catching https and http so that (https?|...|http)=(https?|...)

But if i will remove the first dot then it will say valid url for the condition below-www.com – Puja Jun 08 '19 at 11:30
But `below-www.com` is a valid url, just like by google.com, you don't need to have an extra dot. – luckygulli Jun 11 '19 at 08:51
