You are using the same instance uploadModelRecord in every iteration of your loop. In the first iteration it gets the values of the first line. In the second iteration those values get overwritten with the values of the second line. And so on.
Create a new instance in each iteration and add them to a list. Return the serialized list.
public ActionResult AddparcelView(FileUploadViewModel filedata)
{
...
//Remove line for variable uploadModelRecord.
var uploadModelRecords = new List<FileUploadViewModel>(); //List instead of single element.
foreach (var value in values)
{
i++;
var eachValue = value.Split(' ');
var uploadModelRecord = new FileUploadViewModel(); //Variable for current line.
uploadModelRecord.Name = eachValue[0] != "" ? eachValue[0] : string.Empty;
uploadModelRecord.School = eachValue[1] != "" ? eachValue[1] : string.Empty;
uploadModelRecord.Age = eachValue[2] != "" ? eachValue[2] : string.Empty;
uploadModelRecord.DOB = eachValue[3] != "" ? eachValue[3] : string.Empty;
uploadModelRecord.ParentName = eachValue[4] != "" ? eachValue[4] : string.Empty;
//jsonToOutput = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(uploadModelRecord, Formatting.Indented);
Console.WriteLine(i);
uploadModelRecords.Add(uploadModelRecord); //Here you add the variable for current line to the list.
}
return Json(uploadModelRecords); //Return the list instead of a single instance.
}
