Adding nillable=true attribute in xsd of the form solved the optional date field issue.

You can export the form's source and manually edit the XSD. Should work. Here are guides on how to specify custom field formats in XSD using regular expressions:

http://www.15seconds.com/issue/031209.htm (see the ssnumber section)

You may want to to point out to your client that it is a best practice to use the standard XML date format (yyyy-mm-dd) and that you won't be able to use any of InfoPath's built-in date functionality if you use something else. InfoPath can display dates in any format even if the data underneath is yyyy-mm-dd.

Client wants dates in DD/MM/YYYY format and I am not able to set this format on infopath form. So I was thinking may be I can set this restriction through XSD using regular expression, etc.

What is the client's requirement, specifically?

Why would you want to do this? YYYY-DD-MM is the official XML date format.
