Hi @Arun91 ,

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
if(gr.get(gs.getUserID()){
var getTZ_time = getUserTime(gs.nowDateTime(), gr.time_zone);
template.print(getTZ_time + ' ' + userGR.time_zone + ' - ' + userGR.name);
//other code....
}

function getUserTime(date,usertimezone){
var timezone = Packages.java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(usertimezone);
var gdt = new GlideDateTime(date);
gdt.setTZ(timezone);
gdt.setNumericValue(gdt.getNumericValue() + gdt.getTZOffset());		
return gdt;
}

Above code can help...

We are not using timezone in user profile and date expiration is date and time field. How we can achieve this.
