I have seen the areas.osm3s file, but i need to know how to create areas only for administrative boundaries i.e only for countries, state etc.. other areas are not necessary for me.

Hello Arun, are you looking for a webservice with output like https://wambachers-osm.website/boundaries/ ?

Well, just remove those queries in the area rules file, which you don't need.

For a much stripped down version, you might want to take a look at the following wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Areas - that's the original version before Martin started working on polygon features. That wiki page also explains in more detail, how this all works.

If that's still too much, you might also want to remove some further queries:

  <query type="relation">
    <has-kv k="type" v="multipolygon"/>
    <has-kv k="name"/>
  </query>
  <query type="relation">
    <has-kv k="postal_code"/>
  </query>
  <query type="relation">
    <has-kv k="addr:postcode"/>
  </query>
