29er — Framesize - 26 er
 
I am going to buy a cycle. In this regard I got my framesize 20". Now I would like to know is it for 26er or 29er ?? Is frame size will be different for 29er and 26er ??

I thought 20" was 20" for whatever wheel size
Has more to do with seat to pedal distance, pedal length & standover height.
Road bikes are a bit different, the 20" probably don't apply.

Check "standover" clearance on a mtb. If you have to "Flintstone brake" Good to have an inch or 2 ;)

FYI, I got a 29er, I don't do the highly technical single track tails,
The 29er is more comfortable ride, bigger tires go over bumps better & have over 1000 mile riding paved roads with it.

If buying from a bike shop, they should fit you
If not, have a bike shop fit you, then buy wherever.
If a bike shop treats you well, you'll give them your business & go there for parts & service

Frame size is independent of wheel size, and you should consult the manufacturer spec's. In most cases, a 20" frame is for people over 6' tall.
Let's say that you were to put 29" wheels on a frame intended for 26" wheels, that would change the framing size enough to cause pain from the top bar were you to hop off suddenly without thinking...
