for this you can use field dependencies in picklist

create two picklist fields in your custom object,
picklist1 contains travel Expense and Other Expense,
picklist2 contains  Tickets, Transit, Food, Toll, Fuel, Accommodation,Training, Relocation, Certification, Stationary
go to your object detailed page and in  "Custom Fields & Relationships" related list click on field dependencies
then click new
then in controlling dropdown list select picklist1 and in dependent drop down list select picklist2
 then in travel expense column sellect Tickets, Transit, Food, Toll, Fuel, Accommodation
and in other expence column select Training, Relocation, Certification, Stationary 
then click save

if this help mark this question as solved so that other can take benifit from this

if you need and help let me know

Thanks

Just make 2 different page layouts and assign it to different record types and add those both picklist fields in differnet layouts.

Hi Anuj,

Here you haven't used the record type.
I want it to be done using Record Types.

These is another alternate also, just create one picklist and assign the value to that picklist according to the different record type

Like in below screenshot you just need to edit the picklist available for editing and assign different picklist values based on the record type, in this case you dont need to create 2 different picklist fields or layouts.
