Thanks for prompt reply, already I used the formula what u have specified(But
I tried u r formula also). When I'm using the formula it is not satisfying
the condition i.e ex: 31/10/2004 has to show in 2 according to our formula
but it is showing 1. & for this date also 30/06/2005 has to show 2, but it is
showing 3.

Try:
=IF(A1<=DATEVALUE("01/03/05"),1,IF(AND(A1=DATEVALUE("01/04/05"),A1<=DATEVALUE("01/03/06")),2,3))

What happens to dates from March 2nd to March 31st?
