$name           = $attr['service_name'];
$icon           = $attr['icon_path'];
$text           = $attr['content_text'];

$output         = if($icon == ''){
                    $output        .='<div class="service-list-title"><h3>'.$name.'</h3></div>
                    <div class="service-list-txt">'.$text.'</div>

                            <img class="img" src="'.$icon.'" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="service-list-title"><h3>'.$name.'</h3></div>
                    <div class="service-list-txt">'.$text.'</div>                                    
                    <div class="service-list-readmore"><a href="'.$link.'">Know More</a></div>';

Please replace this line

$output = if($icon == ''){

to

$output = "";
if($icon == ''){

    Most Welcome @PoonamKatpara Let me explain, We can not directly declare variable $output with if statement. so we need to first declare variable empty like `$outout = ""` then if else statment we can append data like you already did. – Vaibhavi S. Aug 26 '19 at 11:38
