Vinayak,

Did you read this link https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13015

that was provided to your earlier?

It clearly says that the ASA CANNOT do load balancing between two diff. ISPs and also provides some alternatives.

If you do not have a router then, you can choose the option to do redundant config using SLA route tracking. Which means you will only use the backup ISP when the primary ISP fails.  That is your only other option without a layer3 device on the outside.
