Everything happens properly from the webmaster. But the problem is that I can't find my post in google ssearch though I have done fetch as google..

Try searching for your post

by title and site name. For example, if I wrote a post titled "How to build a web application" and my domain/site is hello.com, then try searching for:

"How to build a web application" hello.com

This should show you your post in Google. If it doesn't appear at all, then perhaps it hasn't been indexed yet or search engines have been discouraged from indexing your website.

I believe fetching as Google only acts as a preview of what it would look like, but doesn't actually index the content.
