Before anybody can provide a correct solution, you need to define what the 12th working day of a month is as far as you are concerned. This can vary by business, territory and culture.

just a hint for you start the implementation. A command 'cal' (stands for calendar) output looks like the following:
Code:
    October 2011
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
                   1
 2  3  4  5  6  7  8
 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28 29
30 31

This should be a good start for you - good luck.
If/when you have a more specific question/issue, do come back and ask.

Thanks for your feedback. According to my requirement my working day includes Mon- Fri. As my script will run only on working days ie. Mon-Fri hence I need to formulate something which will calculate the 12th working day. I am not considering any official holiday while calculating.


Thanks in advance.
