How to resolve (code=exited,status=203/Exec) while creating a system service for Flask app

I am trying to deploy a flask app using uWSGI and nginx using system service. I saw many tutorials and all of them have the same processes except for the change in .service file.

This is my service file:

[Unit]
Description=Flask web server

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
User=schirag
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStart=/home/schirag/server.py
TimeoutSec=600
Restart=on-failure
RuntimeDirectoryMode=755

I am getting the status of the service file as follows:

flask.service - Flask web server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/flask.service; disabled; vendor preset: disable>
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2021-08-11 11:20:25 IST; 6s ago
  Process: 13131 ExecStart=/home/schirag/server.py (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)
 Main PID: 13131 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Aug 11 11:20:25 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Failed to start Flask web server.

I have tried changing the service file from other sources and also tried changing the directory permissions, still getting the same error and can't start the app using the service. Although I can run the app manually using uwsgi using the following command - uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:8000 --protocol=http -w wsgi
