Hi @Manikant Jha,

The error message says one of the provided arguments is not acceptable. It looks like the Subscription API doesn't support the resource of drives. Per the document, the api only support list. Please make a reference

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/subscription-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#permissions

Per my test, we can create subscriptions for a list by following request

{
    changeType: 'updated',
    notificationUrl: webhookUrl,
    resource: `/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}`,
    expirationDateTime: '2023-07-10T11:59:00.0000000Z',
    clientState: 'clientState',
    latestSupportedTlsVersion: 'v1_2'
}
