ISS uses GMT which is -5.30 hrs from IST(Indian Standard Time). Now its 6.00pm here, so it will be 12.30pm at ISS, vice versa.

Space has no meaningful time zones, unlike places on the surface of our planet. Whenever humans spend time in space, they use the same time frame as their control center (for convenience).
Our time system on earth is defined by the Greenwich Meridian and its opposite, the date line. By definition, the Greenwich Mean Time is the average time of Earth.
