# Get Current Time Zone

You can define and store a [time zone](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/getting-started/set-up-a-catalyst-project/general-settings/#change-the-time-zone-of-the-project) for your project from the General settings in the console, overriding the default time zone set based on the data center you access. This time zone you set will be applied across all services, components and features of the project. However, you can still define individual time zones for certain components.

Catalyst enables you to fetch the current time zone active for your project. You can fetch the current time zone defined for your project in the console using the `getCurrentTimeZone()` method in the `ZCatalystUtil` class as shown in the syntax below.

```bash
fun getCurrentTimeZone(
        success: (String) -> Unit, 
        failure: ((ZCatalystException) -> Unit)? = null): 
        ZCatalystRequest<ZCatalystResponse<JsonObject>>? 
```

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystUtil.getCurrentTimeZone({ timeZone -> 
    println("Current time zone + $timeZone")
}, {
    println("Failed to get current time zone.")
})
```
