Hold it Harish - this is all starting to make sense. Please choose ipchains or iptables ONLY. You're trying to screw around with both!
IF ipt_MASQUERADE calls on the ipchains modules, then it is based on the ipchains code. YOU'RE trying to use iptables, not ipchains, so basically this is what's screwing you around.
You DO NOT NEED ANY of the ipchains modules NOR the iptables ones to make your NAT work. I think you're on the wrong track!!!
You really need to read some documentation, I'm afraid. The NAT howto on the Linux Documentation Project would be a good start: http://www.tldp.org.
