If it is with charge we can just do this task by myself but in this case I require the flowing Items mention below.

Does it have anything to do with willingness?
Here is what I've found online:
"Finally, willingness (see the word will?) allows will to appear in the if...will clause. Willingness is not the same thing as the future. But it uses the same word. We who speak English are sorry we did this to you.We should have used another word. Here are some examples:
Basic first condition: If he comes by eight o'clock, we will have a party.
First condition with willingness: If he will come by eight o'clock, we will have a party."
One of the problems with calling things rules is that there are almost always exceptions. It is true that we can use will in a if-clause, but we use it for a reason like negotiating. In most cases it is wrong to use it, so to state it as an absolute rule is not accurate, but I think questioning the validity of grammar books is going over the top. They could phrase it a little better, but I suppose their primary aim is to stop students whose language would use a future form from doing so wrongly, and once that has been mastered the rule could be modified at a higher level to allow for a more nuanced view.
