I think am not being heard incorrectly here.

Here is the scenario - Database is created using binaries and not postgreSQL installer here. Next this database gets created on one machine SRC-INDIA and then is shipped globally which can be in any timezone, for example TGT-USA.
Since the database is created on SRC-INDIA the timezone parameter gets set as "Asia/Calcutta", but when shipped locally then now() would return incorrect time as per target TGT-USA local time.
