date.getCurrentQuarter()

The getCurrentQuarter method returns an integer from 1 to 4 designating the standard calendar quarter containing the current date. Calendar quarters divide the Bikram Sambat year into four sequential segments starting from 1 Baisakh, which differs from government fiscal trimesters that commence in Shrawan.
