Dear Rajesh,
I think the best way to sort your problem out is to work in term of unit
you have in the model and in the observation.
The model SRF output is in mm/day, therefore if you want to have the mm/
month you need to average the precipitation in that month and multiply by
the number of day in the month.

This assume you have your observation in mm/month.
Best wishes
Erika
