Shibu, This is taken from the Admin Tool help file under the keywords section:
"Note: The $DATE$ keyword is not expanded when default values are set. This allows the value to be set to the date the form is submitted rather than the date the form is opened. Consequently, the literal keyword is displayed in the field before the request is submitted." Having the keyword not expand should make no difference to the way your system operates. It's not necessarily pretty for users, but if that's your only concern, then use a Set Fields Active Link on Window Loaded to set the field to the value of $DATE$, which should force the keyword to expand to the current date.
