Dear Raviprasad,
When I have used the value of sugar-phosphate group for restraining the methyl group,
I got the total charge as 0. , but I expect a value of -1. as that of the normal residues.
As you have suggested, I looked the total charge of the constrained molecules, but it is not equal to the constraints I have used. But in the tutorial given in the antechamber site also, these are not the same. So I think it is right. How can we make sure that the charges exactly matches?
Thanks for all the help.

That deviation is little more than what I expect. One way to rectify that
is to use the exact charge constraint. What I mean by that is add up the
charges of the sugar and phosphate (that you got from AMBER) and use that
value as a constraint for the methyl group. One more thing when you do the
RESP fit it is always a good thing to make sure that your constraint has
been taken into account. The way you do it is that when you add the charges
of the methyl group (from your resp1_output.1 and resp2_output.2) they
should be exactly equal to the constraint value you used.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck
