Yes, table 3.1 is constructed from the IR and MR file without any merge with PR file. I am matching with the unweighted values and also tried to match values after applying weights but in both cases values are different from the report. I also restricted the age group for men to <=49 but here again values are different within categories.

Before merging, values ( total and within categories) from IR and MR file are matching with the report. The problem arises only after the merging. Even after merging, the values for the variables which belong to IR and MR file are not getting disturbed. That is it is only for those variables which are coming from PR file that values are not matching.
