Hello Vinod,
I could not reproduce the reported error. I have found several issues related to your master page:
I'm also getting this error when trying to create template from a master page. <%@

Turns out the error was because the file it was trying to inherit from didn't exist. Removing the Inherits tag in the master page or uploading the appropriate file fixes this problem.
Hello,
Our QAs succeeded to reproduce the issue. Actually, the problem appears when you try to set master page for already existing template (Actions menu > Base Template > Use you own .master file). So, currently the workaround is to set the required master page when creating the template:
1. Click Create a template button
2. Fill the Name and choose Use template option
3. Click Select another Template button
4. Click Use you own .master file
5. Select the master page
6. Create the template and go to add content or return to the grid
The bug is logged and will be scheduled for fix for the next release.
