Hi, Rahul,

The busmacro constraints in your first ucf file looks OK. You need to make 
sure the right busmacro file(.nmc) is in your module folder. I have not tried 
ISE9.1, I am not sure the busmacro is required or not in that version, but 
for the versions I am using or used, the PR system need busmacro. 

Good luck,
lu, yi
