Please try the below query

SELECT 
'IF  EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM Lkup WHERE [TotalPremiumValue] = ' + CONVERT(varchar(50),     [TotalPremiumValue])  + ') 
INSERT INTO Lkup ' + 
'(' + 
'[TotalPremiumValue]' + 
')' + 
'VALUES (' + 
case when CONVERT(varchar(50),[TotalPremiumValue]) IS NULL then 'null' else CONVERT(varchar(50),TotalPremiumValue) end +
')' 
FROM  Lkup

Perhaps try recasting the result as a decimal(5,2)? I added the call into a portion of your code and pasted the section below. You could also shrink that varchar(40) down to a varchar(6), which would hold all 5 numbers plus the decimal point.

 'VALUES ( CAST(' + 
 CASE WHEN [TotalPremiumValue] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE CONVERT(VARCHAR(40), [TotalPremiumValue]) END + ' AS DECIMAL(5,2)), ' + 
 CASE WHEN [EffectiveDate] IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'CONVERT(DATETIME, ' + master.sys.fn_varbintohexstr (CONVERT(BINARY(8), [EffectiveDate])) + ')' END + ', ' +
