kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Invalid `price` while placing GTT order

Rajneesh_12 in Python client
I place a GTT OCO order like this - 
sl = 0.995*ltp 
target = 1.05*ltp
sl_price = tick_size * round(sl/tick_size)
target = target * round(target/tick_size)    
    order_dict = [{"transaction_type": t_type_sl , "quantity": quantity, 
                   'order_type': kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT, "product": product_type , "price": sl_price}, 
                  {"transaction_type": t_type_sl , "quantity": quantity, 
                   'order_type': kite.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT, "product": product_type , "price": target} 
                  ]
    trigger_id = kite.place_gtt(kite.GTT_TYPE_OCO, symbol, exchange, [sl_price, target], ltp, order_dict)
Facing error kiteconnect.exceptions.InputException: Invalid `price`

This worked for some stocks like YESBANK etc. But gave the above error for RELIANCE.

    Can you paste the complete debug log here for the above request?
    We are not able to generate the above inputException of Invalid `price` at our end.
    Also, re-check if you are sending correct values for transaction_type, product and quantity.

    One thing that I found was -
    target = target * round(target/tick_size)
    should be
    target = tick_size* round(target/tick_size)
    So in case of REL already ltp was high and target got unreasonably higher due to this mistake.
    So this might be the issue.
