I change your if statement slightly and works  also for inherited obj - look on snippet   if    merchant id  in thisSession   alert  yeah       x000D   x000D  var sessionA     x000D    amt   10 00   x000D    email   sam gmail com   x000D    merchant id   sam   x000D    mobileNo   9874563210   x000D    orderID   123456   x000D    passkey   1234   x000D    x000D   x000D  var sessionB     x000D    amt   10 00   x000D    email   sam gmail com   x000D    mobileNo   9874563210   x000D    orderID   123456   x000D    passkey   1234   x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D  var sessionCfromA   Object create sessionA      inheritance x000D  sessionCfromA name    john   x000D   x000D   x000D  if     merchant id  in sessionA   alert  merchant id not in sessionA    x000D  if     merchant id  in sessionB   alert  merchant id not in sessionB    x000D  if     merchant id  in sessionCfromA   alert  merchant id not in sessionCfromA    x000D   x000D  if   merchant id  in sessionA  alert  merchant id in sessionA    x000D  if   merchant id  in sessionB  alert  merchant id in sessionB    x000D  if   merchant id  in sessionCfromA  alert  merchant id in sessionCfromA    x000D   x000D   x000D

Try this   if thisSession hasOwnProperty  merchant id          the JS Object thisSession should be like     amt   10 00   email   sam gmail com   merchant id   sam   mobileNo   9874563210   orderID   123456   passkey   1234      you can  find the details here

There s several ways to do it  depending on your intent     thisSession hasOwnProperty  merchant id    will tell you if thisSession has that key itself  i e  not something it inherits from elsewhere    merchant id  in thisSession  will tell you if thisSession has the key at all  regardless of where it got it   thisSession  merchant id   will return false if the key does not exist  or if its value evaluates to false for any reason  e g  if it s a literal false or the integer 0 and so on
