The last boundary marker should end with -- as well, eg

...
base64 "$5"

echo "--B835649000072104Jul07--";
) | sendmail -t

Don't know whether that is the problem in your case, but it's something that definitely needs fixing.

The File is getting generated, but its truncating the header row of CSV incorrectly and also there is one more file thats getting attached with the email, namely 'ATT0001.txt' with every email. Anything wrong that you could found out here?

What does it mean that base64 is "not recognized"? If it's not installed, you'll have to install the package containing the program using your distribution's package manager. However it should be in the "coreutils" package (at least in recent distributions), which is almost surely guaranteed to be installed on any system. Perhaps your PATH does not include its location? Without more details on the error it's impossible to tell.
