Dear Satya,
i would Ike to explain you that hydrolysis is a most important reaction of esters . Acidic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylic acid and an alcohol .
Basic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylate salt and an alcohol
[OR] group of esters leaves and get replaced with base which eventually forms acid and alcohol
I hope this information helps you
All the best
