I suppose the error is on the first 'Input Text'. try to copy its xpath like the instruction you made below

 Input Text  xpath://input[@name='ide_username']  INR004914

its not able to locate element for this line "Input Text name:ide_username INR004914" maybe because of timing problem. So i am not getting the way in which it can locate the elements – komal maheshwari Nov 29 '19 at 06:27

Seems you were close. The desired element is a JavaScript enabled element so you need to induce wait and you can use either/both (clubbing up) of the waiters and you can use the following Locator Strategies:

Inducing Wait Until Element Is Visible:

TC1 Browser Start and close
    Open Browser  ${URL}  ${Browser}
    Wait Until Element Is Visible    xpath://input[@id='ide_username' and @name='ide_username']    20  seconds
    Input Text  xpath://input[@id='ide_username' and @name='ide_username']  INR004914
    Input Text  xpath://input[@name='ide_password']  tsip890*()

Inducing Wait Until Element Is Enabled:

TC1 Browser Start and close
    Open Browser  ${URL}  ${Browser}
    Wait Until Element Is Enabled    xpath://input[@id='ide_username' and @name='ide_username']    20  seconds
    Input Text  xpath://input[@id='ide_username' and @name='ide_username']  INR004914
    Input Text  xpath://input[@name='ide_password']  tsip890*()
