namespace chPayroll.Models.CustInformations
{
    public class CustContact
    {
        public int cId { get; set; }
        public int cNoType { get; set; }
        public string cNo1 { get; set; }
        public string cNo2 { get; set; }
        public string cNo3 { get; set; }
        public List<CustContact> contact { get; set; }
    }
}

here is my editorTemplates

@model chPayroll.Models.CustInformations.CustContact         


@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.cNo1)
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.cNo2)
@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.cNo3)

@Sanjay: you have a strange construct in your view model:

public class CustContact
{
   public List<CustContact> contact;
}

Even if it compiles and machine understands it, I wouldn't use it as it is - you trying to lift yourself from the ground by pulling your hair up :)

It should be defined something along these lines (following your naming conventions & logic):

public class CustContact // single
{
    public int cId { get; set; }
    public int cNoType { get; set; }
    public string cNo1 { get; set; } // those are actual phones, emails etc data
    public string cNo2 { get; set; }
    public string cNo3 { get; set; }
}

public class CustContacts // plural
{
   public List<CustContact> Contacts;
}

View:

@model CustContacts
@EditorFor(m => Model)

Editor template:

@model CustContact
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.cNo1)
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.cNo2)
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.cNo3)

For brevity, we don't deal here with annotations, decorations, error handling etc.

Hope this helps.

Based on the comment on the question, I would build the models as below

public class CustContact
{
    public int cId { get; set; }
    public int cNoType { get; set; }
    public string cNo1 { get; set; }
    public string cNo2 { get; set; }
    public string cNo3 { get; set; }
}

public class Customer
{
    public CustContact Email {get; set;}
    public CustContact Telephone {get; set;}
}

then create an editor template for Customer and in that editor template have following logic

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Email)
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Telephone)

Hope this helps
