Dear Gourav,
It is a little early to say anything at this stage. Though national lockdown may be lifted, the state government may continue with it depending on the situation that will prevail on 14th April. We do not know whether the lockdown in your city will continue or not.
Has your current company arranged your replacement? If yes, then they may not need you. However, if they could not get the replacement then possibly they may approach you for the extension of the notice period. Therefore, let the request come from them.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
