"Asia/Calcutta" is the correct form to use. The "GMT+5:30" syntax
does not work the way you think - it says "my time zone name is GMT,
and when you add 5hours and 30 minutes to it, you get UTC" - in
other words, it's backwards from what most people expect, but that's
the POSIX definition of a timezone specified that way. See the TZ
section of the environ(5) man page.
