Move clock back 5:30 hours:).
On serious note:
1) I would change the time field to timestamp with timezone.
2) Verify what timezone the server is running on:
show timezone;
TimeZone

Well, you probably ought to be using LOCALTIMESTAMP, not now(),
as the initializer for a "timestamp without time zone" value,
if only to save a useless runtime datatype conversion. See
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-CURRENT
However, if the results don't look right to you, it probably
means that you don't have the timezone parameter set correctly.
