Hi Raju,

If I understood your requirement correctly, you want that the Billing Street on all contacts should be updated once the Account Billing Street changes.
To do this, you will need a trigger and a workflow.
a. Create a trigger on Account, that only runs if the Billing Street changes, and blindly updates all contacts - this will run the workflow rule that you will create in the next step.
b. Create a workflow rule on Contact, that updates the Contact's Billing Street with that of the Account.

This should do it! Cheers!
