                "SampleName": "Serum",

          let Message: String
          let IsSuccess: Bool
          let ResponseData: [ResponseData]
         }


     struct ResponseData:Codable
        {

                let PackageId: Int
                let PackageName: String
                let Price: Double
                let DiscountedPrice: Double
                let Type: String
                let TestPackageGroupId: Int
                let SampleTypeList: [SampleTypeList]
             }


      struct SampleTypeList:Codable
          {
             let TestSampleTypeId: Int
             let SampleName: String
             let ColourCode: String

         }

    Name of the Type is a reserved word in swift thats why you are getting Error : Type member must not be named 'Type', since it would conflict with the 'foo.Type' expression this error message . If your model represent a key with name Type , you must use it like

    let `Type`: String

    You can name properties whatever you like, just add coding keys, so decoder knows where to find it.

    struct ResponseData: Codable {
    let PackageId: Int
    let PackageName: String
    let Price: Double
    let DiscountedPrice: Double
    let MyCustomTypeName: String
    let TestPackageGroupId: Int
    let SampleTypeList: [SampleTypeList]

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case PackageId
        case PackageName
        case Price
        case DiscountedPrice
        case MyCustomTypeName = "Type"
        case TestPackageGroupId
        case SampleTypeList
    }
}

    You can rename Type as responseType and add enum CodingKeys for decoding.

    struct ResponseData: Codable {

    let responseType: String

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case responseType = "Type"
    }
}
