Hi Subhash,
For Mass Maitenance  or Loading of  Pricing Condition records,  you can  use  LSMW.   Here you can choose either a  Standard Batch Input  or  Recording,  or  BAPI
The easiest what I felt is  Recording.   here  if you opted to  change condition records  (you can choose  VK12 as the T code)  else  if you wished to mass load the condition records  you can choose  VK11 or VK15.
once the recording is complete,  you need to give a name to your recording, and then assign a Data structure name to it.  after which you can assign the source fields.   for this first you will create a list of source fields which  you can get by checking what you have recorded, and pick the fields. (as there is an option to see the object list of your recording  thus you can identify the recorded fields).
once the source fields are created,  you need to map the  source field with the source Structure.  you can select each field and click the assign button which will pop up a list of the recorded fileds,  you can then assign each of them to the respective  source fileds.   (this is what we call source field mapping)
The Next task is to specify and assign an input file,  for  LSMW script to read and convert.   This input file should have all the records that you wish to add or change  as per the source field record structure.   You can create the input file as an  XL file with all the data,  and then save it as a  .CSV file.  and then specify during the assign file as  it is a comma seperated delimiter.
then Choose the convert  option to do a data conversion,  and then finally process the Batch session,  to  check your results.
LSMW will successfully change or create  Mass data  (whether master records for pricing codition  or  whether mass sales  /purchase Transaction data )
Hope this may be what you are expecting.
