          Very many thanks.
                                          That's exactly the reason. I
removed the sym link and copied  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta to
/etc/localtime  to get the desired result.

         From  RH Linux 6.2  to RH Linux 8.0 also my  / and  /usr was on
different partitions and this problem never occured. May be it was not a
sym link earlier, I hope.

        Thanks again for the insight you provided.
