On salary negotiation with LTI HR, I asked 12lpa (yoe 3.8) to which she agreed. I had a counter offer of 11.5 which I have mailed her also. Upon receiving the OL (btw which I got after 2 weeks), I saw the OL was for 8lpa. I was shocked and then called her immediately. She is not responding since then and it's been 2 weeks. How so unprofessional!

Entirely dependent on agency or even team within the agency. Some allow you to negotiate to any step, some get you in at step 1 no matter what, some only let you negotiate up to step 5, etc.

What BAH1 said. You'll need to ask the HR contract to consider you for a higher starting step due to superior qualifications. If they do that at all, they'll likely ask for several months of pay stubs and, if they will go above step 1, will go anywhere from step 2-6.
There is a pay table online for your location. The only exceptions to that are for hard to fill job families, and there is a table online for that as well. Find the salary you want and if your position level doesn’t match, you can talk to HR but sometimes the position has to be reposted.

As a practical matter, while agencies are authorized to offer up to step 10, their willingness to offer any higher than step 1 is a matter of agency and org policies. Some will do it, some will not.
Within that range, they will almost certainly set it no higher than step 6 to match your current pay, if they will go above step 1. They *can* offer higher than your current pay, but in my time as a fed HM and from what I've heard from HM colleagues, I've never heard of that happening.
I had the same experience and I was told everyone starts on step 1
