 Hi Sudarshan,


From the above XML, I see you are using the OSLC API. 
If you use the REST API, you get the below:

<ns2:planningEffort>100</ns2:planningEffort>
        <ns2:executionEffort>72000</ns2:executionEffort>
        <ns2:planningEffortPersonHours>100.0</ns2:planningEffortPersonHours>
        <ns2:executionEffortPersonHours>72000.0</ns2:executionEffortPersonHours>
        <ns2:planning effort="100.0" units="PH"/>
        <ns2:execution effort="3000.0" units="PD"/>
    </ns2:estimation>

where the unit is Person Hours.
