Yes I have converged the calculation using PBE-GGA and PBE-GGA with
SO. And in both the cases I have found the metallic nature of crystal
(using grep :GAP) and also in band structure the VB crosses the Fermi
level.

No, I didn't use the previous electron and kinetic energy density for
the lmbj calculation. What I did is created a new directory and I did
the fresh calculation.
