Hi Anirban,

Your code is absolutely fine and nothing wrong with it. Just adding the required code does not guarantee that Google will start showing the sitelinks search box for your website. Here is what Google has to say in this regard:

"Search box not displaying? The Sitelinks search box appears only for navigational queries and when relevant for users. Google algorithms use a variety of factors to determine when the search box appears, including the information on the site and different types of navigational queries from Search users."

While there is nothing to fret about, looking at the authoritativeness of the website in question, you should start seeing a sitelinks search box depending on the type of queries users use in Google. When Google finds your website eligible for a sitelinks search box, you will most likely get a message to your webmaster tools account. Chances are more for a website that received very high number of branded queries.

Here is a Moz article in this regard: https://moz.com/blog/sitelinks-search-box

Hope it helps my friend.

Best regards,
