Hi Jahanzeb HussainQureshi,
Thanks for the forum entry.
Have you formatted the sd card over the Phone?
Did you try formatting the card over the PC?
Have you tried restarting the Phone?
What have you tried so far?
Best Regards,

You have to let the phone create the file structure on the phone. Put the empty, freshly formatted card in the phone.
Use the folders that are on the phone. To create a folder on the phone use the files app.

Dear Friends,I had a Nokia Lumia 520 which is about two years old. But only earlier this month I first time tried to install a memory card. But it was not detected in my device. I was advised by the Nokia Care representative to reset the phone. But I was not interested to do so. After trying for few days suddenly I found an App called "File" by Microsoft Mobile in the App Store. Immediately after the installation my SD Card was visible under the App. However, it is an indirect way of utilizing the memory card. But now I am able to do all kind of data transfer and storage on the SD Card.
I hope this will be helpful for you as well if you don't want to reset your handset.
