If you want to add it to the choice list, you can. Instead of Configure Choices, use Show Choices.

Add the entry like this:

thanks , but one things how WRITING IST will automatically calculate this , is there some back coding from where it will match its value to utc+5:30 ?

My understanding is that it gets it from the OS (or some shared library at the filesystem/OS level.)
