			"subCategoryName"    : subCategroyObject.subCategoryName

			//Push only if not eixst in the array
			if(this.selectedSubCategoryArray.indexOf(this.checkedCategoryObject.id) == -1){
				this.selectedSubCategoryArray.push(this.checkedCategoryObject);
			}
		} else {
			this.selectedSubCategoryKeyId = subCategroyObject.keyId;

You search for an id while your array is a collection of object, so it tries to compare an object to an number => will never works, product -1.
You should use findIndex as follows:

let m = [{key:2,val:‘aaa’},{key:5,val:‘bbb’}];
let i = m.findIndex(item=>{return item.key==5});
console.log('i: ',i);

sir i m using this but i got error findIndex of undefined
var i= this.selectedSubCategoryArray.findIndex(item=>{return item.id});

I can only guess that this member variable (this.selectedSubCategoryArray) was never initialized with [] or new Array.
In your constructor code, initialize this member variable.

Would suggest u to use lodash

@Roye:-
Sir i have already initialized array in the constructor ?

If you wish, you can share you code, and we can take a look.

Should be:
var i= this.selectedSubCategoryArray.findIndex(item=>{return item.keyId==this.checkedCategoryObject.id});
