When read with this logic,

df = pd.read_excel(xls_file_path)
# Convert DataFrame to JSON
json_data = df.to_json(orient='records')
print(json_data)

    Try with date_format=iso, see documentation

    json_data = df.to_json(orient='records', date_format='iso')
print(json_data)

    Output:

    [{"Name":"XYZ","Date":"2024-01-02T00:00:00.000Z"}]

    Also, you can force your date columns to be string, which will give you the exact output but depending on your end use-case might not be appropriate:

    df['Date'] = df['Date'].astype(str)
json_data = df.to_json(orient='records')
print(json_data)

    Print:

    [{"Name":"XYZ","Date":"2024-01-02"}]

    You can simply use dt.strftime:

    jdata = (df.assign(**{'Joining Date': df['Joining Date'].dt.strftime('%d-%m-%Y')})
           .to_json(orient='records', indent=4))

    Output:

    >>> jdata
[
    {
        "Name":"Deepak Kalindi",
        "Employee ID":101,
        "Joining Date":"02-01-2024",
        "Leaving Date":null,
        "Monthly Salary":12000,
        "Number of full days":27,
        "Number of half days":2.5,
        "Number of leaves":1.5,
        "OT (full Day)":3,
        "OT (half Day)":2
    }
