My ffbonded.itp file has:

However, my topol.top file looks like this:

I have two issues:
1) I have mentioned the bond lengths and bond constants in the [bondtypes]
and [angletypes ]directory of the ffbonded.itp file, however in the [bonds]
[ angles ]directory in the topol.top file the Ryckaert-Bellemans
coefficients are used, which are assigned as blanks. This is giving the
error No default Ryckaert-Bell. types (multiple times).

The "blanks" in the topology are totally normal. When assembling the .tpr file, grompp will look up the appropriate values in ffbonded.itp that match with the atom types it finds. If you are getting errors about missing parameters, you have failed to assign some interaction type. The error message should contain the offending lines. Note, too, that the parameters specified in ffbonded.itp are assigned by atom *type* and not atom *name* - perhaps this is the origin of your problem.

2) Also, the RB coefficients mentioned in the [dihedraltypes] of the
ffbonded.itp are not used in the [dihedrals] directory of the topol.top
file. This is again writing blanks for the RB coefficients.
What is the issue and why is my topl.top file inconsistent with the inputs
given in the ffbonded.itp file?

The blanks are normal; see above comments.
