I used the follwing, it redirects successfully but 404 page

RewriteEngine On

why not redirect index.(anything) ? like index.php? index.xhtml?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.(.*)$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

or to base it from the initial URL request only (to avoid conflicts with other rewrite rules):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Place this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.html
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/index\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1/index.html [L]

Try putting this in your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index\.html [PT,L]

PT and L are rewrite flags, for more details about them check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/flags.html

You almost got it right, what you did looks like a copy paste error to me. Your first RewriteRule is missing a parameter - there should be a slash before [R=301,L]

Your htaccess should look like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
