Set User ID on execution mode.
I have a directory. To this directory, for Group bits combination, it is showing as 's'. Which I found out, it means "Set User ID on execution mode". Within this directory I am not able to create subfolder.
Does it mean, only the Owner of this directory will be able to create subdirectories & new files under this?

The 's' bit on a directory is the set-gid bit.
New files will be created in the directory with the group of the directory itself. Check if you are in the group, as listed by the directory for which s-gid bit is set. If so, you should able to create files within that!
