Hi,

Please find the solution.

You are not able to get the values in selectedValue variable because js is case sensitive 

wrong:      var selectedValue=  component.find("AccList").get("v.Value");

correct:     var selectedValue=  component.find("AccList").get("v.value");

you can try other way also

component:

<div >
        <lightning:select name="select1" class="slds-select" label="ACCOUNTS" required="false" onchange="{!c.OpportunityfromAccount}"  >
           <option>All</option>
            <aura:iteration items="{!v.Accounts}" var="ac" >
                <option value="{!ac.Id}" label="{!ac.Name}" />
            </aura:iteration>
            
        </lightning:select>
        
    </div>

controller:

OpportunityfromAccount:function(c,e,h){
        var selectedValue=e.getSource().get("v.value");
            alert("selectedValue:"+selectedValue);
    },

Please let me know it is working or not?

Hi Mrityunjay,

Try modifying your code in following manner: 
<aura:component>
<aura:attribute name="Accounts" type="Object[]"/>

<aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.Accounts}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>

<div class="slds-form-element__control">
    <div class="slds-select_container">
        <select id="categoryPicklist" class="slds-select">
            <option>All</option>
            <aura:iteration items="{!v.Accounts}" var="category" indexVar="index">
                <option>{!category.Name}</option>
            </aura:iteration>
        </select>
    </div>
</div>

</aura:component>

And in the JS file you can access it in following way: 
component.find("categoryPicklist").get("v.value");

Refer to similar example here on below thread for more clarity:
