DataTable is not enough for you ;)
You need to use DataSet[^] object and 3 of DataTable[^] objects, because xml file is simple database, which can store more than one table. Each element: HEADER, KYCDATA and FOOTER is a container for data...

Try this:

VB

Private Sub WriteMyXML()
    Dim ds As Data.DataSet = Nothing
    Dim dt1 As Data.DataTable = Nothing, dt2 As Data.DataTable = Nothing, dt3 As Data.DataTable = Nothing
    Dim dr As Data.DataRow = Nothing, dc As Data.DataColumn = Nothing

    Try

        '<ROOT>
        ds = New Data.DataSet("ROOT")

        '- <HEADER>
        '  <COMPANY_CODE>GULMOHAR</COMPANY_CODE>
        '  <BATCH_DATE>13/01/2011</BATCH_DATE>
        '</HEADER>

        dt1 = New Data.DataTable("HEADER")
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("COMPANY_CODE", GetType(String))
        dt1.Columns.Add(dc)
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("BATCH_DATE", GetType(Date))
        dt1.Columns.Add(dc)
        dr = dt1.NewRow
        dr.Item("COMPANY_CODE") = "GULMOHAR"
        dr.Item("BATCH_DATE") = DateTime.Parse("02/01/2012")
        dt1.Rows.Add(dr)


        '- <KYCDATA>
        '  <APP_UPDTFLG>01</APP_UPDTFLG>
        '  <APP_POS_CODE>GULMOHAR</APP_POS_CODE>
        '  <APP_TYPE>I</APP_TYPE>
        '  <APP_NO>00001</APP_NO>
        '  <APP_DATE>02/01/2012</APP_DATE>
        '  <APP_PAN_NO>ABBDE1234J</APP_PAN_NO>
        '  <APP_PAN_COPY>Y</APP_PAN_COPY>
        '  <APP_EXMT>N</APP_EXMT>
        '  <APP_EXMT_CAT />
        '  <APP_EXMT_ID_PROOF>01</APP_EXMT_ID_PROOF>
        '  <APP_IPV_FLAG>Y</APP_IPV_FLAG>
        '  <APP_IPV_DATE>13/01/2012</APP_IPV_DATE>
        '  <APP_GEN>M</APP_GEN>
        '  <APP_NAME>SANDEEP CHAVAN</APP_NAME>
        '  <APP_F_NAME>HANMANT CHAVAN</APP_F_NAME>
        '  <APP_REGNO />
        '  <APP_DOB_INCORP>05/10/1980</APP_DOB_INCORP>
        '  <APP_COMMENCE_DT />
        '  <APP_NATIONALITY>01</APP_NATIONALITY>
        '  <APP_OTH_NATIONALITY />
        '  <APP_FILLER3 />
        '</KYCDATA>

        dt2 = New Data.DataTable("KYCDATA")
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("APP_UPDTFLG", GetType(String))
        dt2.Columns.Add(dc)
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("APP_POS_CODE", GetType(String))
        dt2.Columns.Add(dc)
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("APP_NO", GetType(Integer))
        dt2.Columns.Add(dc)
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("APP_DATE", GetType(Date))
        dt2.Columns.Add(dc)
        'and so on...
        dr = dt2.NewRow
        dr.Item("APP_UPDTFLG") = "01"
        dr.Item("APP_POS_CODE") = "GULMOHAR"
        dr.Item("APP_NO") = 1
        dr.Item("APP_POS_CODE") = DateTime.Parse("02/01/2012")
        dt2.Rows.Add(dr)

        '- <FOOTER>
        '  <NO_OF_KYC_RECORDS>1</NO_OF_KYC_RECORDS>
        '  <NO_OF_ADDLDATA_RECORDS>0</NO_OF_ADDLDATA_RECORDS>
        '</FOOTER>

        dt3 = New Data.DataTable("FOOTER")
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("NO_OF_KYC_RECORDS", GetType(Integer))
        dt3.Columns.Add(dc)
        dc = New Data.DataColumn("NO_OF_ADDLDATA_RECORDS", GetType(Integer))
        dt3.Columns.Add(dc)
        dr = dt3.NewRow
        dr.Item("NO_OF_KYC_RECORDS") = 1
        dr.Item("NO_OF_ADDLDATA_RECORDS") = 0
        dt3.Rows.Add(dr)


        ds.Tables.Add(dt1)
        ds.Tables.Add(dt2)
        ds.Tables.Add(dt3)
        '</ROOT>

        ds.WriteXml("E:\myXml.xml", XmlWriteMode.IgnoreSchema)

    Catch ex As Data.DataException
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

    Catch ex As Exception
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

    End Try


End Sub

Output:
