Hello!
You have a sample configuration. If you are using MPLS and want MPLS MPPP then there are some restrictions (this document will help: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t15/feature/guide/mplsdmlp.html#wp1059434)
You need the config below in both sides RouterA and RouterB
interface Multilink1
ip address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 255.255.255.252
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
ppp multilink fragment disable
ppp multilink group 1
!
interface Serial0/0
bandwidth 2048
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
ppp multilink group 1
!
interface Serial0/1
no ip address
encapsulation ppp
no cdp enable
ppp multilink
ppp multilink group 1
The utility of MPPP is that it allow to bundle multiple E1/T1 link in one logical interface with and increased bandwidth. For example if you have 2 E1 bundled in 1 MPPP then you have 4Mbps interface (2 x 2Mbps).
Please tell if it is working or need you need more info.

Hi Vinoth
I feel your IOS is not supporting the multilink interface related commands and doesnt support multilink.
Can you try doing an upgrade to the IOS and config the multilink.
you can make use of this link to get your router configured with multilink...
