    Hi RN Sarma

    There are multiple issues with this commandline based on your purpose. 

    1- HaplotypeCaller does not have a parameter named and therefore using it will throw an error message.

    --filter-indels 

    If you wish to filter INDELS and just get SNPs then you can use 

    gatk SelectVariants --select-type SNP

    to get SNP calls only. 

    2- The below parameter will not return only biallelic sites but it will limit the number of called alternate alleles per loci to 1 and will drop all other alleles if there are more present. If you wish to get only biallelic sites then you may drop this parameter as well and just call variants and perform variant selection using the tool that I mentioned above to get what you exactly need. 

    --max-alternate-alleles 1

    I hope this helps.
