Resolution
There are couple of causes that might end up in this issue. Find below the causes and steps to overcome the issue.
Case 1:
The downloaded template was originally an actual Migration Template that was later converted to a CSV file.
However, this approach will not work correctly. It is necessary to either upload the Migration Template (*.XML) or the original text file (*.CSV).
Case 2:
If the *.CSV file contains header lines or if the headers do not match the data lines.
Then remove the header lines and upload the *.CSV file without them.
