Hi @bhuvana srini ,

Simplest way to achieve this is using Variable Attributes.

Add allowed_extensions=xls;xlsx; in variable attributes of your attachment field.

If Excel

If not excel

- Other way of doing this is call script include from client script & query attachment table and check the attachment type.
