Please help me on this.

Then it's likely that you have locally created several commits which are included in the push.

git commit --amend only updates the last commit, if you have more commits to update use interactive rebase
to rewrite those commits:

$ git config user.email yournewemail@example.org
$ git commit --amend --reset-author

This commands will work

The above works basically the file that is being commited most likely has a line Signed off by, this is containing the other email address. Just fix the name and the email id there and it will work.
