    I'm saving the time of which the record gets saved by GETDATE() function. It is taking server time only not location time

    GETDATE() is a sql function. It will ALWAYS return the time of the server. It does not have any knowledge of the timezone your client application is running in. As previously suggested you should look at datetimeoffset or somehow record how to make the adjustment in relation to your server.
