In controller, ModelState.IsValid is false,TransferDate value is coming null.

You might need to put a ModelBinder in place.
See: http://weblogs.asp.net/melvynharbour/mvc-modelbinder-and-localization[^]
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7889038/asp-net-mvc-datetime-culture-issue-when-passing-value-back-to-controller[^]

But you'r right, DataAnnotation based validation should be culture-aware. But it looks you have done everything as you should. Still, I can imagine that there is a neater solution for this...

Solution 2

Replace in View

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.TransferDate)

to

<input type="text" name = "TransferDate" id="TransferDate" />
