If we take this term in respect of Guaranty, for example, Something given as security for the execution, completion, or existence of something else then we can translate it as: کوئی چیز ضمانت/گارنٹی کے ساتھ لینا

If you take something for granted, you do not even think about it because you believe it will always be available or exactly the same:
I took it for granted that I would find the perfect job.
It's easy to take your kids for granted.
Honestly, I have been put in a very confusing situation because the answers given by all the friends appear correct to me but under different contexts. Anyhow, I have to perform the duty of selecting one which best fits in my requirement and thanks to all the others for their knowledgeable feedback.
Thanks for your note. Well, I have already given the context that it is to take 'something' for granted which is not a human being or any other living thing.
It will be more helpful if you could provide the context for this phrase.
For example, 'one thing is for granted that...' or 'do not take me for granted..' both will be translated differently.

معمولی سمجھنا، عام سمجھنا، اہمیت نہ دینا، شکرگزار نہ ہونا
Explanation: To take for granted:
a. to accept without question or objection; assume: Your loyalty to the cause is taken for granted.
The above seems to be the use of "for granted" in most answers already given.
I think the question maybe about the other common use of this term, which is:
b. to use, accept, or treat in a careless or indifferent manner:E.g. "A marriage can be headed for trouble if either spouse begins to take the other for granted."
One can also take other things for granted, such as freedom, comfort, luxaries etc.
This meaning can be described in the following ways:
کسی چیز کو اہمیت نہ دینا، یا کسی چیز کو حق سمجھ کر اہمیت نہ دینا، یا معمولی سمجھ کر شکرگزار نہ ہونا، یا ایک عام بات سمجھ کر اہمیت نہ دینا اور شکرگزار نہ ہونا۔۔۔۔وغیرہ۔
It would be easier to translate this term if there was a complete sentence to translate.

Without original context there is no choice except assuming.
If it is not for "someone" as usually it is, than it might be meant as ' (some thing) is spared for granted'.
for granted = عطا کرنے کیلئے، برائے تفویض، بطور بخشش دینے کیلئے۔
