Hi,
I am using a infinityfree free website. I’ve purchased godaddy domain. Now I need to use that domain as my infinityfree website. Can you please provide the guidlines?
If your website is simple, then just follow this guide to add your domain as a parked domain of your previous domain.
Some CMSes like WordPress will require extra steps like this one:

Thanks. It worked. Is it like creating a copy of the website. Because I can access some pages of my website through old domain?. How to avoid that from public?
It depends on how you setup the additional domain name.
If you link multiple domains to the same folder on your account, then both domains will (usually) show the same website, unless the website itself redirects you back to the “correct” domain.
I checked your website and I see that the free subdomain is correctly redirecting to your own domain, so everything seems to be setup correctly.
Is there any particular content that’s not working for you?

When I am directly accessing this page of old domain https://kasaragodtourist.infinityfree.me/places-tourist-places-kasaragod/ I am getting that old domain page itself, instead of new domain page. It is not redirecting to this page https://kasaragodtourist.info/places-tourist-places-kasaragod/
Right, so it seems that WordPress will redirect you to the configured website domain if you’re visiting the home page, not when you’re visiting specific sub pages.
As far as I can tell, WordPress has no built-in functionality to do this. You can probably do it using a plugin, but you can also do it using .htaccess rules.
You should be able to do this by going into the file manager, going to the htdocs directory of your website, and editing the file called .htaccess. Simply add these lines to the end of the file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^kasaragodtourist\.infinityfree\.me$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://kasaragodtourist.info/$1 [R=301,L]
