Users are able to access O365 services even after their licenses removed!!

Microsoft simply does not enforce license requirements for some services. This has been a "known issue" for SPO for years now, ever since we got Guest access. Other services similarly allow the user to access the functionality without a license. Which doesnt mean that you are not required to have a license, as in most cases you will be breaching the license agreement.

Thanks Vasil for your quick response.
Yes, that seems to be true. But this also means that you as an Admin can not control what services user can/cannot access via Admin portal! That's quite limiting and i think most of the admins wouldn't know that.
I think Microsoft should clearly mention this if it is by design.

Agreed, but there are dozens of different teams at Microsoft, and most of them have their own opinion on how things should work with their particular application. Take Groups and Planner as an example - a non-member can see all files/conversations in a Public Group, but cannot see tasks inside the Group's Plan. So some applications enforce license and membership requirements, others do not, it can get messy at times...
