Dear Dr. Giannozzi,
Thanks very much for the suggestion. It worked. Is there a place/reference 
where
I can read more about this?
Thanks,
Ravi

a quick solution is to remove input data related to metallicity:

from the input for the 'nscf' calculation. These data are used only for 
the
calculation of the Fermi energy, which will not be of much use anyway, 
unless a uniform grid of k-points is specified.
