In your code you need to analyze the following things,

Code:
- If the month is 3 then "let month=$month-4" statement returns negative value. 
So "cal <negative_no> <year> will not work.

-  Piping the output to some variable is not possible in bash.
 You can change this line 
"cal $month $year | tr -s '\n' ' ' | awk '{print $NF}' ` | read day" 
to "day=`cal $month $year | tr -s '\n' ' ' | awk '{print $NF}' `"

- You need to change the first line also.
printf "%d %d" $(date "+%Y %m") | read year month

If piping the output to some variable is possible in your environment then use as like before.
