Accordingly the embodiments herein provide a method for indication of change in multi-radio access technology (RAT) dual connectivity (MR-DC) capability of a user equipment (UE). The method includes detecting the change in the MR-DC capability of the UE, and identifying an operation mode of the UE, the operation mode being one of an idle mode and a connected mode. The method further comprises in response to the operation mode being the idle mode, detecting an event, checking a validity of the change in the MR-DC capability of the UE after detecting the event, and indicating the change in the MR-DC capability of the UE to the first network node based on a result of the check. Further the method comprises in response to the operation mode being the connected mode, identifying that UE-assistance information is configured by the first network node, and indicating the change in the MR-DC capability of the UE to the first network node based on the UE-assistance information.
