So you are unable to run the batch file ? Just double click it..

Iam running but file is n0t moving from source folder to destination....... My question is , Is there any problem with my script??? or why it is not working?..

doesn't look like there's a problem assuming all is spelled correctly - I'd take out the echo off and try it - then you can see any errors

(and put the pause after the move)

Ya, i tried without @Echo off it was showing that "The syntax of the command is incorrect".. I placed pause after the move command as u suggested...

Your file path contains spaces, so you need to enclose the name in quotes:

VB

@echo off
pause
move "C:\Users\bapureddy.battu\Desktop\Bapu\Created docs\capOne.rtf" D:\
@exit

Otherwise it tries to move the file with the name "C:\Users\bapureddy.battu\Desktop\Bapu\Created" which does not exist.
