Can anybody explain me what are the contents of SRS.

There is no thumb rule which insists a specific content in srs. Contents are determined by many factors including existing environment, processes, complexity, volume, business nature, information available, etc. Here is the sample content index of a srs:

product features
user classes and characteristics
operating environment
design and implementation
constraints
user documentation
assumptions and dependencies
system features
system feature 1
system feature 2 (and so on)
external interface requirements
user interfaces
hardware interfaces
software interfaces
communications interfaces
other nonfunctional requirements
performance requirements
safety requirements
security requirements
software quality attributes
other requirements
appendix a: glossary
appendix b: analysis models
