Hi Shekhar,

Yes we can use ISNEW() function to check if this is creation or updation in validation rule.

Please find the article (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.customize_functions_isnew.htm&language=en_US&r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&type=5#:~:text=Checks%20if%20the%20formula%20is,updated%2C%20this%20function%20returns%20FALSE.) for the same.
Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,

Hi Shekhar,

We can fire when creating a new recod or while modifying existing recrods.
ISNEW() -- It validates only new records
NOT(ISNEW() -- For existing records
