Good day @Devang_Ajmera,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the third party eCommerce support to cross check your using same LIVE REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret) while performing the below API calls.

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/authentication/

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/postman/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions_create 

Also, If a third party eCommerce partner is performing API operation on your behalf, you(i.e merchant) should be on-boarded and necessary API permissions should be granted to the Partner(API Caller). 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/seller-onboarding/ 

Merchants can manually grant permission to a third party eCommerce to access specific information in your PayPal account and perform PayPal API operations on your behalf.

Login PayPal.com >> Hover on your name at the top right corner >> Account Settings >> Website payments >> API Access >> Pre-built payment solution >> Grant API permission >> contact your "Third party software eCommerce" for Third Party Permission Username >> enter the username.

Sincerely,
