                    objFund.Transfer_id = int.Parse(lblReqNo.Text);
                    objFund.Type = 9;
                    int a = objFund.Insert();

                    objFund.Transfer_id = int.Parse(lblFranchise_id.Text);//franchise Id
                    objFund.CreditAmt = float.Parse(lblReqNo.Text);
                    objFund.Type = 5;
                    int b = objFund.Insert();
                    if (b > 0)
                    {

You can check row type wether it is header row or data row... .. ie if it is data row then only your code will will execute

if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{

                Label lblReqNo = (Label)row.FindControl("lblReqNo1");

                Label lblFranchise_id = (Label)row.FindControl("lblFranchise_id");
                objFund.Transfer_id = int.Parse(lblReqNo.Text);
                objFund.Type = 9;
                int a = objFund.Insert();

                objFund.Transfer_id = int.Parse(lblFranchise_id.Text);//franchise Id
                objFund.CreditAmt = float.Parse(lblReqNo.Text);
                objFund.Type = 5;
                int b = objFund.Insert();
                if (b > 0)
                {
                    msg.Alert("Request accepted and mount Debited ");
                }
}
