I am having the method in my view controller as shown below:

- (void)parser:(PaymentTermsLibxmlParser *)parser encounteredError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog("error occured");
}

Here I need to show the Actual error message in the NSError in my alert can any one suggest how to get it.

Normally you'll want to use [error localizedDescription] to get the text to show to the user.

Read the NSError documentation for more options.

For simple logging when developing, you can do NSLog(@"Error: %@", error). (That will give you 'localizedDescription' and everything else on your log in Xcode.)
