I use belena-etcher for copying ISO files to UBS sticks.
It needs polkit agent running as an authentication agent .
So I have installed polkit-gnome and added it to startup file so it can start with system boot
But when I try using etcher I get error
No Polkit authentication agent found .
how to fix this matter?

install polkit, an obarun pkg.
Also, 66-intree -zg/sudo 66-intree -zg can show why something like this will or wiil not work. Etcher, most likely, needs to send a msg through dbus to ck, with polkit present, to get permission to write on a disk. If one of those steps is broken the result will be failure to write to disk. If you start etcher in a terminal it probably will tell you what the problem is. If you start it as root it may not need all this.
Out of what desktop/wm are you trying to start this? Is it on a menu, a desktop icon, ??

that^, plus you'd need the 'agent', which is provided by one of these: polkit-gnome, lxsession(lxpolkit), others... pacman -Ss polkit
which then must be started at X startup.. ie. in your autostart..
or as stated, run it as root..
