Use NSCalendar and NSDateComponents.

e.g.

// Assuming 'data' is a valid NSDate object
NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSMonthCalendarUnit+NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:date];
NSInteger day = components.day;
NSInteger month = components.month;
if ( (month>=startMonth && month<=endMonth) && (day>=startMonthDay && day<=endMonthDay)) {
// do your stuff
}
