Chetan, Hmmm.. Usually when you want to use a combo box, you provide both the value and the label for each item. Struts has a class called LabelValueBean; use this to assign the value to each label. Then pass in the array/list of LabelValueBean into <html:options> or <html:optionsCollections>.
Struts cannot magically determine what values you want. So in this instance it is using the label as the value (and vice-versa) because that's all you specified. To get the index, do what I described above -- values cannot be guessed at; you have to supply them.

For examples if User chose "IHG" I should get integer 1 , not the String "IHG" How is this possible as the underlying data structure is a "int" not String. Thanks.
