    Is there anything wrong with this robot file, I am little confused here because the indexation is little low for this website and the site itself has more than 19,000 pages but only 5000 are currenlty indexed.

    Hello,

    The first rule is useless :

    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    -> (for all bots, block nothing)

    And other rules can not impact the indexation of your 14K other pages. So, your issue is outside the robots.txt.

    Nothing wrong with robots.txt.
