     cell.dateLbl.text = finalDOB

Use DateFormatter to get the required date format like,

func getFormattedDate(from str: String) -> String? {
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    if let date = dateFormatter.date(from: str) {
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd MMM"
        return dateFormatter.string(from: date)
    }
    return nil
}

To add the formattedDate in your cell, use indexPath.row instead of indexPath.section, i.e.

let dob = "\(arrdata[indexPath.row].dob)"
cell.dateLbl.text = getFormattedDate(from: dob)

Still if it is printing the same date in every cell of tableView, try adding the array of string dates that you're using for each cell. Also the UITableViewDataSource methods.
