Hi Amit,
That is something you can do yourself. But i must inform you that, WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created. But if you still wish to deactivate your account and leave WordPress, then follow these instructions:First Delete Your Site.
And then follow these steps:
STEP 1: Remove Data
Go to My Account > Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all the data except the username and email address. Now replace only the email address with a throwaway email address. Do not change the username, this will keep the username from being re-used.STEP 2: Change Account Password
Now change your account password to a strong one. You can use this simple password generator tool by LastPass: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
This is done to ensure that your account is locked up tightly.STEP 3: Hide Gravatar Profile
When you login to Gravatar, you will find a hide button on the bottom right corner of your Gravatar Profile page. Click that.

To stop receiving emails from WordPress, go here: https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/ and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”.Check this out for more information:

Even if you deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.Hope this helps you. We are sorry to see you go. All the best :)
