I have added the " ulimit -s unlimited " and "ulimit -s" in vasp script (attached). But the error remains exsists. I have observed when I run the job without pbs scrit using ""mpirun -np 24 /home/abdul/VASP/vasp.6.1.2.fixcell/bin/vasp_std > vasprun.log"" job executed normally.

Are you reserving enough memory for this calculation?
Does a smaller calculation (smaller unit cell and less atoms) run successfully?

1. Yes I have enough memory about 2TB to run the calculations"

2. Yes in unit cell no problem, But in HSE06 calculations job stops after SCF iterations without writing dielectric tensor.

Well, the fact that the code runs outside the PBS script indicates that this is a problem with PBS or more likely your setup.
You should try to check how much memory is allocated for your job in PBS.
Note that this is different from how much physical memory you have available in your nodes.
