Atul,

Reasons could be so many. Since you say that the His-tag is still present in 
your protein try to remove it and see 
if it can make a difference.

OR

Also, try seeding. You don't say what your protein concentration is. If it is 
too high, reduce it or vice-versa.  Also, 
in general if crystals appear in one organic acid condition, you can try in 
others like citric acid and very 
importantly Sodium MALONATE. Play little bit with pH. 

Good luck

Anthony
