Electricity have magnitude as well as direction then why it is scalar

A scalar quantity doesn't have direction, but current does because you can change the direction of those little electrons in the wire and thus the direction the charge is moving! However, Physics and electricity isn't all that simple!

If u are talking about electric field then it is a vector quantity.
But if u are talking about current,it is neither vector nor scalar. Current has a direction. ... And for this reason electric current should be considered a vector as it has both magnitude and direction. But in addition, vectors obey the law of parrellogram of vectors, which the electric current does not obey.
