Answer 1

try

 echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('+330 minutes', 0));  

or

  date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
  echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');  

first get time by

 $time = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
    // than convert it to IST by
    $time->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('IST'));
