You can do this using this function say you want to convert local time to GMT time and also this will be GMT+6 or GMT+5 then just use this function. This function will return answer.

public String getCurrentDate() {
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy MM dd hh:mm a zzz");
    Date date = new Date();
    sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+6:00"));
    return sdf.format(date);
 }
