@RitikaJ7 I have asked SME's to comment further if they can.
However it would help if you could explain the configuration you are using, and why you believe error messages/ validation messages are not correctly being read out by the screen reader?
Did you check previous questions on the forum such as
Error message shows only on focus.
Can you confirm you followed the best practice as laid out in the documentation?
Accessibility - Accessible navigation patterns with RDLs
Best practices for using helper text
Please clarify what is not working as documented.

@RitikaJ7 Would you be able to provide some further details on your scenario? Such as whether this involves client-side or server-side validation, and what methods you have tried so far.
Depending on the desired behavior, there may be some custom JS necessary. Client-side validation should automatically focus the first field that triggered an error when the user hits submit (cannot confirm for sure for v. 8.3.1).
There are some similar articles regarding modifying focusing/navigation of error fields, which may be useful.
