Hello @shaheenpathan,
Your domain can either be mapped or transferred to WordPress.com.
In choosing a domain transfer it means that WordPress.com will assume responsibility as the domain registrar and everything related to your website is in one place. In order to transfer a domain it has to be 60 days old as per the ICANN regulation.

Domain Mapping would leave your domain at the current registrar and just point it to WordPress.com. Each year you have to renew your registration and mapping.

Read over both options to make an informed decision. All the best!
