I am using `Laravel 5.2`. 

I have a database table `schedules` as: 

```
id    name     start_date    end_date
1     AAAAA    2016-01-01    2016-12-31
2     BBBBB    2016-02-01    2016-03-31
3     CCCCC    2016-04-01    2016-06-12
4     DDDDD    2016-04-18    2016-07-15
5     EEEEE    2016-03-15    2016-04-14
6     FFFFF    2016-05-01    2016-08-26

```

Now, I want to fetch the records of schedules that are `resides in current month` i.e. `April-2016`. The result should be 

```
id    name     start_date    end_date
1     AAAAA    2016-01-01    2016-12-31
3     CCCCC    2016-04-01    2016-06-12
4     DDDDD    2016-04-18    2016-07-15
5     EEEEE    2016-03-15    2016-04-14

```

I tried using, 

```
Schedule::whereDate('start_date', '<=', '2016-04-01')
->whereDate('end_date', '>=', '2016-04-30')
->get();

```

But it excludes records with `id` `1` and `4`. 

How can I achieve this?
