Vadawale (PRL) report on behalf of the AstroSat CZTI collaboration:\n\nAnalysis of AstroSat CZTI data with the CIFT framework (Sharma et al., 2021, JApA, 42, 73) showed the detection of a GRB 250813A which was also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 41343).\n\nThe source was faintly detected in the CZT detectors in the 20-200 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-08-13 01:46:01.50 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 72 (+35, -16) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 485 (+199, -228) counts. The local mean background count rate was 249 (+5, -6) counts/s. Using cumulative rates, we measure a T90 of 12 (+1, -6) s. \n\nThe source was also faintly detected in the CsI anticoincidence (Veto) detector in the 100-500 keV energy range. The light curve peaks at 2025-08-13 01:46:00.12 UTC. The measured peak count rate associated with the burst is 117 (+70, -10) counts/s above the background in the combined data of all quadrants, with a total of 1002 (+403, -457) counts. The local mean background count rate was 1144 (+8, -8) counts/s. We measure a T90 of 13 (+2, -4) s from the cumulative Veto light curve.\n\nCZTI is built by a TIFR-led consortium of institutes across India, including VSSC, URSC, IUCAA, SAC, and PRL. The Indian Space Research Organisation funded, managed, and facilitated the project.\n\nCZTI GRB detections are reported regularly on the payload site at:\nhttp://astrosat.iucaa.in/czti/?q=grb\n",
