    Employing four different parametrization of the pairing plus multipolar type of effective two-body interaction and three different parametrizations of Jastrow-type of short range correlations, the uncertainties in the nuclear transition matrix elements MN(0ν)M_{N}^{(0\nu)} due to the exchange of heavy Majorana neutrino for the 0+→0+0^{+}\rightarrow 0^{+} transition of neutrinoless double beta decay of 94^{94}Zr, 96^{96}Zr, 98^{98}Mo, 100^{100}Mo, 104^{104}Ru, 110^{110}Pd, 128,130^{128,130}Te and 150^{150}Nd isotopes in the PHFB model are estimated to be around 25%. Excluding the nuclear transition matrix elements calculated with Miller-Spenser parametrization of Jastrow short range correlations, the uncertainties are found to be 10%-15% smaller
