Error while importing EBS 12.2.4 VM Template / Virtual Appliance

While working on EBS12.2.4 installation on Virtual Box using Oracle Virtual Appliance (.OVA) file, I received an error when I tried to import the Virtual Appliance file. The error was very generic and given me a tuff time to figure out what was the actual cause.

Failed to import appliance D:\EBSTemplates\12.2.4\Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.4_VISION_INSTALL.ova.
Seeking within the archive failed (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH).
