It will be when you delete "upon it" and change the comma to a semicolon.

"Upon" does not work after decide.

'Decide upon' means 'choose', which might not fit the OP's sentence.

Please note the correct way to ask your question.
It does not work in this context.
'...upon it' is redundant.

Can I say that " upon" is not incorrect but redundant.

If it were "decide on it" or even "decide it", I would accept redundant. But "decide upon it" is just wrong in my opinion.
