Do's and Dont's in making Flowchart.

No.
A Process has an incomming arrow and one outgoing arrow. That is all.
If you want two arrows then you want a condition box.

The idea of a flowchart is to show the logic flow of a process or program in a top down sequence of events.
Only a condition box can divert the flow.

In a program the process is a command or call to another program, subroutine or function. A command just starts and ends. A called program, subroutine or function should just exit with a return to get back to the calling place. Of course if the programming language allows then you could place a GO TO instruction in the function or subroutine to illegally divert the program flow. You cannot do this in a called program.
This GO TO usage makes for ugly spaghetti coding that is very difficult to follow and is the reason why a lot of programmers hate the use of the GO TO.

Remember: Always keep it simple.
