Sir Paulatto,
Thank you very much for your invaluable help. I got to understand that it is
to do with transferability of pseudopotentials, but sir i would like to ask
one last question regarding this occupations issue.
Suppose i have a single Mn atom in a GaAs supercell. The hole(spin dw)
associated with  Mn sits in one of the Mn d states (as i inferred from spin
resolved local moments on Mn atom (~5up + ~1dw )). I want to delocalize the
hole by setting the d spindown occupations to ~zero.
is there a way to specify this as i dont know the band number of hole
apriorily

sincerely
