I am trying to calculate MNDWI index for Sentinel 2 image of an area for 2015 year data in Google Earth Engine.

var image2 = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2')
                  .filterDate('2015-06-23', '2015-12-31')
                  // Pre-filtering to get less cloudy granules.
                  .filter(ee.Filter.lt('CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE', 20))
                  .filterBounds(point)
                  .select(['B3', 'B11'])
                  .reduce(ee.Reducer.percentile([20]))
                  .rename(['B3', 'B11'])
var mndwi2 = image2.expression('(green - swir) / (green + swir)' ,{
  'green':image2.select('B3'),
  'swir':image2.select('B11'),
}).rename('MNDWI2');
//adding the layer 
Map.addLayer(mndwi2.clip(roi), imageVisParam, 'MNDWI_2015');

//making water zones from 2020 mndwi image
var zones_2015 = mndwi2.gt(0.1).unmask(0);
Map.addLayer(zones_2015.clip(roi), VIS_WATER_MASK, 'water zones for 2015');

It is giving error :

MNDWI_2015: Layer error: Image.select: Pattern 'B11' did not match any bands. water zones for 2015: Layer error: Image.select: Pattern 'B3' did not match any bands.

But as I am changing my year from 2015 to any other year it is working fine. Is there some issue with particular 2015 data or something wrong in the code? Some days back I apply the entire procedure for the same 2015 year for other area and everything works well but this time it is giving error for trying for other area.

There are simply no images in 2015 for your defined filters (region, months and cloud percentage). You an check that using:

var numbImages = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2')
                  .filterDate('2015-06-23', '2015-12-31')
                  .filter(ee.Filter.lt('CLOUDY_PIXEL_PERCENTAGE', 20))
                  .filterBounds(roi).size();
print('numbImages 2015', numbImages)
