Form 3CEB cannot be uploaded by submitting the utility’s XML file directly if the portal’s upload flow requires JSON. Check that you have the current utility and follow its prescribed export/import workflow: some portal utilities generate a file that must be converted or validated through the corresponding offline utility before submission. Do not rename XML to JSON; the formats are not interchangeable. If the current utility provides no JSON output or conversion step, the mismatch needs confirmation from the Income Tax portal/utility support, as I cannot verify a working conversion route.
