@pranaymirchandani thank you for your first contribution, but @ChristineWk is right. Either your article is not published or your category. I am closing this now as this is not a Joomla issue.

Or possibly URL rewriting on in Global Configuration but no .htaccess file present?
Forget it. Unpublished is more likely the problem.
- Article was was already in published state.
- Turned off URL rewriting in Global configuration and confirmed .htaccess file (its present) but the issue was that it was named as htaccess.txt so renamed it to .htaccess and this resolved the issue.

@pranaymirchandani That's expected behavior. We can't just overwrite any present .htaccess (or in case of IIS web.config) file because it might already contain site-specific adjustments, so we provide a txt file which can be used without modifications, if there is no present file, or which can be used to compare with the present file and merge them together into one. It's done the same way with the robots.txt, where we ship a file robots.txt.dist in order not to overwrite a present file.
When you switch on URL rewriting, a small help text is shown, telling to rename the file:
.
Maybe you have missed that text?
Can't confirm.
Check if it's set to: published.
