By default time zone of laravel project is **UTC*

• you can find time zone setting in App.php of config folder

'timezone' => 'UTC',

now change according to your time zone for me it's Asia/Calcutta

so for me setting will be 'timezone' => 'Asia/Calcutta',

• After changing your time zone setting run command php artisan config:cache
