Hi,
I am using PIC16f876a on 3.3Volt. I am using basic circuit and referred to following link for connection.
http://www.picprojects.net/pic1618exp-28d/index.html

I am facing problem while sending data over UART. When i touched to ground pin of controller then data is getting sent and i don't touch then data is not getting sent. I think this problem is related to ground problem.

i have provided 0.1 uf capacitor as well.

hi ep.
Please post a sketch showing the UART connections, as you say sounds like you have a missing 0V Common line between the to modules.

Did you connect the remote unit to the same gnd?
What type of power supply are you using some do place a capacitors from main to GND.
When GND is floating output is lifted when you hit the GND offset is gone.
Try to run it from a battery and see what happened.
But this could be also the case at the connected site.
