Java SimpleDateFormat(“yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss’Z'”) gives timezone as IST

June 3, 2022 by IT Nursery

I have SimpleDateFormat constructor as

SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'")

and I am parsing string "2013-09-29T18:46:19Z".

I have read that here Z represents the GMT/UTC timezone. but when I print this date on console , It prints IST timezne for the returned date.

Now my question is whether my output is right or wrong?
