I tried validators provided by laravel but all doesnt seems to work.. That gave me an idea to try to validate using normal php and it works like a cham

$extensions = array("xls","xlsx","xlm","xla","xlc","xlt","xlw");

        $result = array($request->file('import_file')->getClientOriginalExtension());

if(in_array($result[0],$extensions)){
// Do something when Succeeded 
}else{
 // Do something when it fails
}
