Dear wasim,
   Thanks for the immediate response.
Keeping your second point in mind, I regenerated the subdirectory with
case.ksym.
The structure file generated by wien2k reads 12 symmetry for my studied fcc
system as shown below:

Then I replaced 12 with 1 symmetry operation in case.ksym file. This
generates 47 kpoints (instead of 64).

It seems very complicated.
Let's expect some expert response too.
Thanks .
Request: Pls see if you can generate 64 kpoints using the above structure.
Best regards
Madhav
