It seems that this calculation was never going to converge. Try to run
lmBJ-SOC just after GGA-PBE-SOC (and save_lapw) in the same directory.
Is lmBJ without SOC also showing such problems?

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.

Could you show how the total energy and distance charge evolve during
the iterations of the lmBJ-SOC calculation (grep for :ENE and DIS in
case.scf)?
Before using lmBJ-SOC, did you succeed to converge a calculation on
your
system using another method, like GGA-PBE or lmBJ without SOC? If yes,
have you tried to start the lmBJ-SOC calculation by using the electron
density (case.clmsum) and kinetic-energy density (case.tausum)
obtained
from such a previous calculation that converged?
