As others suggested, you have to do the debugging yourself, To avoid the date error you may need something like this:
CREATE TABLE EMPFRAUD_TEST
    SERIAL_NUM   VARCHAR2(10),
    BRANCH_CODE  VARCHAR2(10),
    BUSINESS_ADD VARCHAR2(100),
    REGIONS      VARCHAR2(50),
    TRANSACTION_DATE_TIME DATE ,
    REPORT_DATE_TIME DATE ,
    NO_OF_TRANS     VARCHAR2(50),
    AMOUNT          NUMBER,
    FRAUD_TYPE      VARCHAR2(25),
    IMPACT_CATEGORY VARCHAR2(10)
  ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    type oracle_loader default directory saubhik
    access parameters
    ( records delimited by newline
      badfile 'empfraud%a.bad'
      logfile 'empfraud%a.log'
      skip 1
      fields terminated by ','
      optionally enclosed by '"' ltrim
      missing field values are null
       ( serial_num ,
         branch_code ,
        business_add ,
        regions ,
        transaction_date_time date "dd/mm/rrrr",
        report_date_time date "dd/mm/rr",
        no_of_trans ,
        amount ,
        FRAUD_TYPE ,
        IMPACT_CATEGORY ) ) LOCATION ('fraud.csv')
  REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
