The above sample creates an all day event.. But when I set the method as "REQUEST" the all day event box in outlook gets unchecked. How do I rectify the issue?
I'm posting the solution for this set the time to start date midnight ( 183000 hours in asia pacific) and set the end date to date+1(182959 hours) This way all day event gets created. Posting my ical file, if someone needs it.

REQUEST method type is for changing published events. Has the events already been published? The VEVENT must also be wrapped inside a VCALENDAR. Where is the VCALENDAR?
