On Any linux server, if you want to get time in the Indian standart time zone. use the following command
TZ='Asia/Kolkata' date
For eg: TZ='Asia/Kolkata' date +%Y%m%d gives you 20111005
This is very useful if your server is on a different timezone and your applicaion(shell script) requires Indian Standard time (IST)
note: TZ=IST does not work since shell interpret it as International Standard Time
