Officially, 1947 is considered the first year of Independence anniversary hence this is 62nd Independence day.
Here are some official and credible links to substantiate the point:

Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day ... :b
A person who was born on 14th aug 1947 .. is he 61 yrs old on Thursday or 62 yrs old?
It is 62 independence day but its 61st independence day anniversary. Its all in perspective but both are right.
Talking of perspective, lunar year jumps one year after every 30 solar years… so a person born in 1947 is actually 64 years old in 2008 
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day … :b
and he is 32 Martian yrs old in 2008..
what are we talking about here? 
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day … :b
Very simple.
The objection was on ‘62nd’ in the calender. Calender does say 62nd Independence day and not anniversary…
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day ... :b
Oh boy. I am so confused. As usual.
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day ... :b
One more thing to add in "Contact Anwaar Qureshi if..."
I don’t get what is your objection, it is 62nd independence day and 61st anniversary. Since the calendar doesn’t mentions a number with the anniversary so what is the issue? 
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day … :b
is it independence day 
ohh this is a pakistan affair topic …
Re: 62nd, not 61st Independence day ... :b
abey yaar - baal ki khaal... 61 saal ya 62 saal...
