Hi @Rohit Kulkarni ,
Thankyou for using Microsoft Q&A platform and posting your question.
While declaring variables you have kept the expression inside single quotes which is causing the error.
Could you please try replacing the two lines of codes with the following:

declare @StartDate datetime = CAST(DATEADD(DAY,-DAY(GETDATE())+1, CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)) AS DATE)
declare @EndDate datetime = DATEADD(d, 1, EOMONTH(current_timestamp))

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
