Thank you sir for the reply . I was just confused how to use DFT+Ueff .
Still I have some query  If I follow the first method for DFT+Ueff  (U-J)
then isn't just like DFT+U method which will just use a small U=Ueff
(Ueff=U-J) instead of large original U ? Then how will the code
differentiate  DFT+U and DFT+Ueff ?

Kind Regards
Paresh
