Hi Vishal,
Its better you refer Clause number 27 in IS 456 : 2000 for the expansion joints. There its clearly explained.
Generally Expansion joints depends upon various factors like,
1. Change in plan dimensions
2. Temperature and Climatic conditions of the place.
Normally structure exceeding 45 meters in length are designed with one or more expansion joints.

It Depends on Wall Serving which purpose.
For Load Bearing it is 30 Mts.
For Parapet, it is 6mts or 12 mts but the thickness of joint changes as per interval length Considered in this case.
Generally at site people follow 10 ft or 12 ft.
For Horizontal bond beam of 100 0r 150 mm at initial height of 900mm and then at every 1.2 mts the Bond Bond beam should have at-least 12mm rebars.
