Pls let me know, which Visual Studio Express edition can be used to develop WCF web services?
Is it Express 2013 for Windows Desktop or Express 2013 for Windows?

I imagine all 3 has some access to the WCF libraries are they are rather integral. I would question how/where you plan to use the web services. You want "For Windows" if you are wanting Windows 8 / Windows Phone (Metro Apps). You probably want For Windows Desktop. Though, if you are heavily web focused you might consider Express for Web.

@vossad01 my intention is to develop web services (SOAP, REST, XML-RPC) and later consume them in asp.net application.

In order to create WCF services, you would have to use Visual Studio Express for Web. Atleast in VS 2013 express, It does not have a project type of WCF.
