I have an image with transparent background. When I removed the text from the image, it appeared in full color and did not match the transparent background. Is there any way to make it work or do we have to recreate the transparent background?

From a selection, use Edit > Clear (Backspace is the keyboard equivalent).

This is the menu command to delete a transparent layer's pixels to transparency.

If you need the ability to possibly undo this action sometime in the future, use Layer > Layer Mask > Hide Selection (or alt/opt click the layer mask icon in the layers panel).

Hope this helps!

It's entirely impossible to know without seeing your workspace. If you can show us a full res screenshot of your workspace showing the layers panel, then we'll be able to see what is going on.

You only have a single layer, meaning the text is raster, which means pixel based, and means it is rough and horrible, so the first thing to do is recreate the text using the Type tool. The font is Arial Bold. You can see how much cleaner the text is on my recreation below.

The grid represents transparency. I am not entirely sure if you want to have a white background, or leave it transparent? If you want it to be white, create a new layer below the original layer, and fill it with white.
