    Hi Seshan,

    As per MSDN XRM.Page is deprecated in the current release to reorganize the Xrm client API object model to better align with the need of using the same client scripts without having to change them based on the context or the client (web client or the new Unified Interface) where they run. You should plan to use the new client APIs mentioned in the Replacement Client API column instead of the deprecated ones.

    Xrm.Page is the primary form context. If a script is run on a secondary context (grid row, quick form, related entity) then Xrm.Page will be for the wrong form context. By using alternate methods of getting the form context we allow the same script to be used without modification in all contexts.

    You can get more information from below reference  -
