Error in uploading 3CA-CD json file

Quick Summary
Users are encountering 'Invalid JSON' errors when attempting to upload 3CA-CD forms to the income tax portal. The issue seems to persist across various utility versions and troubleshooting steps, including Java updates and re-installations. Some users have found success by using specific utility versions (like 1.0.5 or 1.0.7), ensuring all fields are correctly filled, reducing sentence length in certain fields, or by trying a specific workaround involving selecting 'I' instead of 'We' in Form 3CB. For persistent issues, contacting the income tax helpdesk has also been suggested.

The GSTN is not able to recognize the JSON file that has been uploaded or there might also be structural errors in the uploaded JSON file. The GSTIN number must be mandatory specified in the JSON file. The latest and correct JSON file must be uploaded in the correct GSTIN of the GST Portal.

Sir I am also getting the same error. Could you find a solution for it ?

I am also having the same error, please suggest if anyone can

Please check Java version 

Same problem facing since last week, JAVA also updated but no solution.

After updating Java reinstall the utility and feed the details afresh. It has worked for me.

Sumit Ji, i did the same , but still having same issue

showing error- INVALID JSON 

Already filled utility twice, still showing same error

same issues,,tried java update, then reinstalled utility, filled form again and again...INVALID JSON error shows

The Error Invalid JSON is showing for those clients who are subject to Audit for the first time.

Doesn't hold true for my case, getting the same error for a client whose accounts are getting audited from two previous  years

Finally successfully uploaded.

Download utility 1.0.5 and fill up in this utility and upload then no error

Still getting the same issue as invalid Json. Did anybody found the solution?

What is the size of json file when you downloaded from utility anyone pls?
