Dear Yogesh Kumar
You are using a very old QE version. I'm not sure that stress  
calculations were implemented with PAW pseudopotentials. I suggest you  
to try to run the calculation with a recent version, possibly the  
current one; it is unlikely that even a willing colleague want to  
track down a not immediately evident error ir bug in an outdated  
version of the code.
