Hello Pankaj,

Those are version numbers, they've been a part of Ensembl stable ids 
since the start but not always displayed in every context, you can read 
more about the rules for how they're incremented here:

http://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/stable_ids/versions.html

Biomart does not accept versioned stable ids in queries, if you're 
submitting a batch of stable ids to Biomart you must ensure they are 
unversioned.

Cheers.
