QuotaTrigger
trigger QuotaTrigger on Quota__c (before insert, before update) { QuotaTriggerHandler.dupQuotaError(Trigger.new); }
QuotaTriggerHandler
public class QuotaTriggerHandler { public static void dupQuotaError (List <Quota__c> newTrigCon) { Id recordTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Quota__c.getRecordTypeInfosByDeveloperName().get('Inside Sales Target(IS)').getRecordTypeId(); //List of all Contact Records currently in the database List <Quota__c> allCon = [SELECT ID, Name, Assignedto__c, Quater_Year__c, RecordTypeId, Month__c FROM Quota__c where RecordTypeId=:recordTypeId]; //Iterate through new potential records for (Quota__c oneConTrig : newTrigCon) { //Needed to iterate through all existing records which is contained in the allCon List for (Integer i = 0; i < allCon.size(); i++) //If all conditions are met, there is a duplicate and thus, returns an error. if (oneContrig.Assignedto__c == allCon[i].Assignedto__c && oneContrig.Quater_Year__c == allCon[i].Quater_Year__c && oneConTrig.Month__c == allCon[i].Month__c && oneConTrig.RecordTypeId == recordTypeId) { oneConTrig.addError('Duplicate Quota Detected! This record already exists.'); } } } }

We get null pointer exception when we try to access any method/value of null object/record.
You are getting this error at line no. 5 because your below method is returnig null value:
You have to provide developer name of your Record Type to above method OR you can use method given below, which retrives Record Type ID by its name.
