Hi  dharani2607,

Ankur's reply is correct. "new GlideDateTime()" will get the date/time in UTC. .getDisplayValue() will return the date/time in current's user's date format and timezone.

var gdt = new GlideDateTime();
gs.info(gdt.getDisplayValue());

getDisplayValue()

Gets the date and time value in the current user's display format and time zone.

To get the date/time is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss format but in the current user's time format, use getDisplayValueInternal().

getDisplayValueInternal()

The date and time values for the GlideDateTime object in the current user's time zone and the internal date and time format of yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.
