Recently i installed ubuntu 14.04 on windows 8.1 pre-installed PC as Dual Boot. But due to some reasons i removed ubuntu 14.04 from my pc.Even though i removed ubuntu from my pc ubuntu entry in Windows EFI Bootloader remains. I tried deleting entry using Ubuntu live cd and EasyBCD software tool though it remains in EFI Bootloader entry.

You need to remove the ubuntu folder in the efi partition.
And in UEFI remove the ubuntu entry.
sudo efibootmgr -v
The "-v" option displays all the entries so you can confirm you're deleting the right one, and then you use the combination of "-b ####" (to specify the entry) and "-B" (to delete it).
Examples #5 is delete which is deleting the entry 4 or 0004.
efibootmgr -b 4 -B

Did you remove the ubuntu folder in the efi partition. Otherwise UEFI will keep adding a new entry as it adds all entries in efi folder. – oldfred Jun 13 '14 at 23:48
