**Description**  
I have Create new meeting by Zoom API: [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/meetings)  
And sending the below data  
`{"topic" : "Demo 9.6", "type" : 8, "start_time" : "2021-06-09T23:00", "duration": "60", "timezone" : "Asia/Kolkata", "recurrence": {"type" : 2, "end_date_time" : "2021-06-11T23:59:00", "weekly_days": "5"}, "password" : "123456"}`

**Error**  
Sending the value of “start\_time” is “2021-06-09T23:00” and “timezone” : “Asia/Kolkata”  
But in response i’m getting  
`{"occurrence_id":"1623313860000","start_time":"*2021-06-10T09:45:00Z*","duration":60,"status":"available"}`  
here start time is not what i sent, it’s not even equivalent to UTC of my sent “start\_time” : “2021-06-09T23:00” nor the equivalent to Asia/Kolkata(GMT +5:30) of my sent start\_time

But it is CURRENT TIME +6:30hr

**Which Web Client SDK version?**  
V2

Hey @imchahardeepak,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. When creating a meeting, make sure that you’re using a `start_time` that’s in the future otherwise the time will default to the current time.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,  
Max

Hi Sir, Please check the input i have shared, i’m passing `start_time`.  
Check the below data which i’m sending

```auto
{"topic" : "Demo 9.6", "type" : 8, "start_time" : "2021-06-09T23:00", "duration": "60", "timezone" : "Asia/Kolkata", "recurrence": {"type" : 2, "end_date_time" : "2021-06-11T23:59:00", "weekly_days": "5"}, "password" : "123456"}

```

Hey @imchahardeepak,

The date 2021-06-09T23:00 is roughly a month in the past which means that Zoom will default to the current date when that is provided as a start\_time. Please try using a date in the future.

Thanks,  
Max
