As Brad Wilson states in his answer here:

ModelState.IsValid tells you if any model errors have been added to ModelState.

The default model binder will add some errors for basic type conversion issues (for example, passing a non-number for something which is an "int"). You can populate ModelState more fully based on whatever validation system you're using.

Try using :-

if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
    var errors = ModelState.SelectMany(x => x.Value.Errors.Select(z => z.Exception));

    // Breakpoint, Log or examine the list with Exceptions.
}

If it helps catching you the error. Courtesy this and this

ModelState IsValid  tells you that the model is consumed by the view  i e  PaymentAdviceEntity  is satisfy all types of validation or not specified in the model properties by DataAnotation   In this code the view does not bind any model properties  So if you put any DataAnotations or validation in model  i e  PaymentAdviceEntity   then the validations are not satisfy  say if any properties in model is Name which makes required in model Then the value of the property remains blank after post So the model is not valid  i e  ModelState IsValid returns false   You need to remove the model level validations

Please post your Model Class   To check the errors in your ModelState use the following code   var errors   ModelState      Where x   gt  x Value Errors Count  gt  0       Select x   gt  new   x Key  x Value Errors         ToArray      OR  You can also use  var errors   ModelState Values SelectMany v   gt  v Errors     Place a break point at the above line and see what are the errors in your ModelState
