Any one can tell me the difference between MAX_PLAYERS, MAX_CLIENTS, MaxClients

[Natsheh]

All are the same, it holds server max players slots.

Only MAX_PLAYERS and MaxClients exist in AMXX 1.8.3. MAX_PLAYERS is a constant that's set to 32 (maximum number of players on any server), and MaxClients is the number of player slots on the server running that plugin (up to 32) - basically sv_maxplayers.

Nope, MAXClients is for the number of slots your server have.
E.G. I have 16 slots server. So, MAXClients=16

get_maxplayers() is used for the total number of players playing in your server.
E.G. I have 16 slots server. Number of players playing now is 10. So get_maxplayers() <=10

I hope it is correct!

That is incorrect. get_maxplayers() will be the number of available slots on the server (in your example, it will always be 16). To get the number of players currently in the server you use get_playersnum().

You need to do some basic checking before you post. Please don't post if you know that you're not sure.

No. get_maxplayers() is equal to amount of the server slots.
If you start the server with 10 slots, you will have get_maxplayers() = 10.

This is not that complicated. If you set your server to 15 slots, then get_maxplayers() returns 15.

As mentioned, MAX_PLAYERS is set to 32 which is the max number of players that a HL1 server supports. This constant can be used for sizing arrays since you cannot use a non-constant, such as get_maxplayers(), for this purpose. The value returned by get_maxplayers() can be used for run-time conditions, such as max iterations for a loop or something.
