Hello Swapnil,

To explain some background, in the last few years the track named "Known 
Genes" has been replaced with a new track called "UCSC Genes". The 
overall idea is the same (cluster known transcripts into genes), but the 
processing is different, which produces different files. For a certain 
time during the transition, both versions of the track were available. 
Starting in hg19, as you have noticed, only the UCSC Genes track is now 
available.

Links to NCBI accessions (when available) and other identifiers are 
still contain in the dataset, only in different locations:

knownGene (default table for track "UCSC Genes")
kgAlias = primary set of alternate identifiers
kgXref = expanded set of alternate identifiers

Using the Table browser is probably the best way to view the schema 
relationships between the data, join tables as desired, and create 
output in the format you prefer. Start with the UCSC Genes track and 
with the default table selected (knownGene) use the "describe table 
schema" button to view data relationships.

Then, to output data from more than one table, use output format 
"selected fields from both primary and related tables". From here you 
can select fields from the associated tables (add in NCBI accessions or 
other identifiers) and output a custom file to recreate what the file 
KnownGeneOld2.txt used to be.

Hopefully this helps to get you started. Please let us know if you have 
questions with the query or data,
