HI Ravinder,
It seems to be a syntax error. Try below 
global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc){
    	return Database.getQueryLocator ([SELECT id,Email,name,MailingCountry,active__C,Flag__c,Chrun_Indicator__c,Sales_Program_Type__c FROM contact where AccountId!= null and account.Active__c='yes' and ( Account.Type  like 'Customer%') and Active__c='Yes' and Email!= null and  (NOT Email  like '%cexz.com')]);
    }

When doing the SOQL queries with the QueryLocator in batch classes you need a [] around the usual ()

Hope this helps you. Please mark this answer as best so that others facing the same issue will find this information useful. Thank you

Hi Ravinder, 
I have gone through your code. I traced the error that you have made. First, in Database.getQueryLocator we have to give any input as a string after that it converts that string into a query. So I have modified your code. please have a look.

global class batchclass {
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc){
        return Database.getQueryLocator('SELECT Id,Email,name,MailingCountry,active__C,Flag__c,Chrun_Indicator__c,Sales_Program_Type__c            FROM Contact where AccountId!= null and Account.Active__c=\'Yes\' and ( Account.Type  like \'Customer%\')and Active__c=\'Yes\' and                  Email!= null and  (NOT Email  like \'%cexz.com\')');
    }
}

Hope this explanation will resolve your query. Mark it as the best answer if you find it helpful.
Thanks
Akshay
