Hi, I cant login sftp if I Chrooted user(abc) to write privileged directory (/home/abc/abc.com) but I can login if I Chrooted directory (/home/abc/abc.com) is only readable privilege to user(abc) or user group (abcgrp)
I want to give write access for specific chrooted folder (/home/abc/abc.com) and with user could login to sftp. How?

I am guessing that you created the abc.com directory as an administrative user and not the user abc?
If so, you need to give the abc user permission to the folder you created as an administrator. Use this command to do that:
chown -R abc:abcgrp /home/abc/abc.com
Take a look at How can I chroot sftp-only SSH users into their homes? - Ask Ubuntu. In order to chroot abc to /home/abc/abc.com, you need to have /home/abc/abc.com writable only by root and grant them write privileges to a subdirectory, e.g. /home/abc/abc.com/files.
