Dear Bikash,

When you use disentanglement, you typically need much more bands to be 
included in the nscf calculation. most probably,  8 bands in your case 
is too few.

Also, not sure about the orbital character, but if using only p bands is 
a proper choice. Isn't it sp2 (or sp3) hybridized? Please, study the 
orbital character of your DFT bands, and choose proper projections. 
probably, you need to add s bands here.
