Hello!!! Everyone i am using a GPS Module to track location of my Device and also obtaining the time and date information from the GPS Module.
 
I sent this command to GPS Module to get this $GPRMC sentence.

$PMTK314,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29

The checksum is calculated by using this site:-
http://www.hhhh.org/wiml/proj/nmeaxor.html

and my GPS Module is receiving Proper Commands and hence giving only this sentence as output
$GPRMC,001225,A,2832.1834,N,08101.0536,W,12,25,251 211,1.2,E,A*03

But my Problem is that i need India's time and Date not the UTC Time and Date.
For me to add 5:30 manually to the UTC time is very tough task and i am implementing that, which is going to become very long code.
I want to know, is it possible that my GPS Module will give Indian Time not UTC time, is it possible.

Please help me and if there is not any such way then please share an algorithm to easily easily add 5:30 to my time and date.

Previously i am using the Wrong Approach (Algorithm) for Implementing this in my Code.
Now Changed my Algorithm to Add 5:30 in my Code and is working fine.
Please Check if anyone find any bug, i am sharing my code:-

Code:

#include<p18f8722.h>
void main()
{
	unsigned char Time_Data[] = "233000";	//23Hour 58Min 25 Seconds
	unsigned char Date_Data[] = "280215";	//13 June 2013
	
	unsigned char GPS_Date,GPS_Month,GPS_Year,GPS_Hour,GPS_Min,GPS_Sec;
	
	unsigned char temp;
	
	GPS_Date = (Date_Data[0]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[1]^0x30);
	GPS_Month = (Date_Data[2]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[3]^0x30);
	GPS_Year = (Date_Data[4]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[5]^0x30);
	
	GPS_Hour = (Time_Data[0]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[1]^0x30);
	GPS_Min = (Time_Data[2]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[3]^0x30);
	GPS_Sec = (Time_Data[4]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[5]^0x30);
	
	//Adding 30 Minutes
	temp = GPS_Min + 30;
	if(temp < 60)
	{
		GPS_Min = GPS_Min+30;
	}
	else
	{
		GPS_Min = temp - 60;
		if(GPS_Hour < 23)
		{
			GPS_Hour = GPS_Hour+1;

Well a GPS is nearly always only going to give you UTC values. Conversion to local time is messy since the Roman calendar of days months and years with 30 31 and 28 or 29 day months  plus leap years is arbitrary form a math point of view. Next we have the Babylonian base 60 of secs minutes and hours. Even UTC with its Grenwich meridian origin for the time has this messy notation for date and time. The mess is an accident of history and the code just has to deal with it. Maybe a future generation will move to Startrek's star datetime.

hello!! gan_canny

I had solved my problem by adding 5:30 to my code and i had also checked everything you are talking about.

The code written had a small flaw, i am putting correct code, which is working fine after debugging.

Code:
#include<p18f8722.h>
void main()
{
	unsigned char Time_Data[] = "233000";	//23Hour 58Min 25 Seconds
	unsigned char Date_Data[] = "280215";	//13 June 2013
	
	unsigned char GPS_Date,GPS_Month,GPS_Year,GPS_Hour,GPS_Min,GPS_Sec;
	
	unsigned char temp;
	
	GPS_Date = (Date_Data[0]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[1]^0x30);
	GPS_Month = (Date_Data[2]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[3]^0x30);
	GPS_Year = (Date_Data[4]^0x30)*10 + (Date_Data[5]^0x30);
	
	GPS_Hour = (Time_Data[0]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[1]^0x30);
	GPS_Min = (Time_Data[2]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[3]^0x30);
	GPS_Sec = (Time_Data[4]^0x30)*10 + (Time_Data[5]^0x30);
	
	//Adding 30 Minutes
	temp = GPS_Min + 30;
	if(temp < 60)
	{
		GPS_Min = GPS_Min+30;
	}
	else
	{
		GPS_Min = temp - 60;
		if(GPS_Hour < 24)
		{
			GPS_Hour = GPS_Hour+1;

		else

			}			
	}
	while(1);
	
}

This code is working fine, one can add any value to UTC time, to obtain time of any location.

That's some interesting code you posted. I understand your main focus is getting it to work for UTC+5:30.  Does this code also work for negative UTC offsets? For example New York is UTC - 5.

I had just added 30 minutes and 5 hrs.
Code is simple.

If you will look at it you will understand it properly.
I had just combine the ASCII Characters to form a proper date, time.
By this technique one can increment and decrement date and time easily.

For negative offset, change all unsigned char to char and subtract the time where i had added.
Not tested but should work.
