Try below code :

    currYearDate = DateValue("April 1, " & Year(Now))
    nextYearDate = DateValue("March 31, " & (Year(Now) + 1))
    With Range("H9").Validation
        .Delete
        .Add Type:=xlValidateDate, AlertStyle:=2, Operator:=1, Formula1:=currYearDate, Formula2:=nextYearDate
        .ErrorMessage = "You should enter date between " & Format(DateValue("April 1," & Year(Now)), "dd-mmm-yyyy") & " and " & Format(DateValue("March 31," & Year(Now) + 1), "dd-mmm-yyyy")
