Dear Amruta,
There is difference between Job profile, description and specification.
But in one way or other it is interrelated:
Job profile - It begins right from the beginning of your career till date that includes your company, designation, roles and responsibilities, achievements and how fast was your growth.
In short it represents your graph from where you have started and to where you are heading to.
Job description - It includes the roles and responsibilities as well as the activities expected out from an individual by an organization.
Job specification - It mentions the required skills that is applicable for the mentioned roles and responsibilities.

If you ask yourself the questions like what, how and when…you will get the correct answer.
Job Profile is what is person is expected to do. This is given to him or her at the time of joining.
Job description is summery of the role along with required skill sets and traits for the role. This is given at the time of inviting applicants.
Job specification is how the job is expected to be done. What will be the key performance and key result areas.

I hope this will help you to some extent.

Thanks and Regards
Sanjeev
