I am not understanding the requirement of yours and the commands that you run.

Code:
echo "Please provide the file name Corresponding to DC..."
read file 
ls $HOME/*.txt | grep $file --> You are checking the existence of the file
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
find . $file -name "*.txt" -exec bash -c "mv {} \`echo {} | sed -e 's/[_TEST_]/_/g'\`" \; --> Are you trying to rename the file that you read above??

---------------------------------

I have folder called /input/temp. Inside the folder I have lot of files. I need to find the file of pattern Article_????_test_?????????.txt and replace by format below.

Article_????_?????????.txt

Code:
find /input/temp -type f -name "Article_????_test_?????????.txt" -exec sh -c 'mv $1 ${1/test/}' {} \;

This should do!!
