I used the search command as
source="task"|transaction task_action startswith=START endswith=Succeeded|Table_time task_action duration

90% of the result is coming correct ..
but for some case the result is not an exact difference

Have a look at the duration field which is created by the transaction command, it should be precisely what you need.

You might check that your time extractions are correct. If Splunk's interpretation of each event's time is incorrect, that could lead to the duration field being incorrect.
