I too have same question, if I am not wrong Kumar want to create a custom email Address field where we have flexibility to add non - primary emails by clicking on plus button just like standard email address field in Contacts module.

The way Email addresses work in Sugar is by linking the module with email_addresses table using a join table called email_address_bean_rel. - And by this design you can only use one email field per module.
There are simple alternatives like creating new text field or text area for additional "Email" types.
But - if you really want to replicate the email functionality, one possible solution(without a join table) is to store the emails as a comma separated value in the backend, but in the UI, display it like the Email field, by creating a custom Email Field, which extends the original Email field. Here is a general approach: Eg:
1. Extend the Email field from clients/base/fields/email and create a new field type in custom folder: custom/clients/base/fields/custom_email
2. Extend the format and unformat functions in the field.js to convert comma separated values into an array and vice versa.
3. In your record.php, you can define the field "type" as your "custom_email" so that it uses your new field to display.
