Try this you will get month number

NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
NSDateFormatter *dateFor = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];
[dateFor setDateFormat:@"MM"];
//[dateFor setDateFormat:@"M"]; // Use single M for avoid 0 before month number
NSString *monthNumber = [dateFor stringFromDate:date];

Hope it will help..

You can use NSCalendar to get NSDateComponents from it:

NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] init];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components: NSMonthCalendarUnit fromDate:date];

NSInteger month = [components month];
