     from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
     import time
     from tqdm import tqdm
     email='XXXXX'
     password='XXXXX'

     options = webdriver.IeOptions()

     options.ignore_protected_mode_settings = True

     driver = webdriver.Ie('C:\Program Files (x86)\selenium- 
     3.141.0\selenium\webdriver\ie\IEdriverServer.exe')

     driver.get('https://s2fs.axisbank.com/EFTClient/Account/Login.htm')
     email_box = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
     email_box.send_keys(email)
     pass_box = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
     pass_box.send_keys(password)
     submit_button = driver.find_element_by_id('loginSubmit')
     submit_button.click()
     time.sleep(3)
     File2393= driver.find_element_by_link_text('Checkbox For Item 919020028802393.csv')
     File2393.click()
     time.sleep(1)
     File3303= driver.find_element_by_link_text('Checkbox For Item 920020034873303.csv')
     File3303.click()
     time.sleep(1)
     download = driver.find_element_by_class('icomoon icon-download2 toolbar-button')
     download.click()
     print("File is been downloaded")

Answer 1

You are missing a wait / delay before accessing the first element on the page.
You can simply add a sleep there, like this:

driver.get('https://s2fs.axisbank.com/EFTClient/Account/Login.htm')
time.sleep(10)
email_box = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
email_box.send_keys(email)

But it is better to use explicit waits

Answer 2

well, this URL :-

https://s2fs.axisbank.com/EFTClient/Account/Login.htm

is not loading at all in my browser, but if it works for you then you can try with Explicit wait as below :

options = webdriver.IeOptions()
options.ignore_protected_mode_settings = True
driver = webdriver.Ie('C:\Program Files (x86)\selenium-3.141.0\selenium\webdriver\ie\IEdriverServer.exe')

driver.maximize_window()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get("https://s2fs.axisbank.com/EFTClient/Account/Login.htm")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
email_box = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.NAME, "username")))
email_box.send_keys('email')

These would be the imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Answer 3

I think, the site is not reachable, you can try to use the correct URL to access the page,

Accessing the element, you could use the explicitWait

 email_box = WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"element_XPATH")))
 email_box.send_Keys("UserName")

import

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
