Convert utc timestamp to local time using offset In seconds

I need to convert utc timestamp to local time using utc offset in seconds. i had used moment-timezone library. This is my code

var moment = require('moment-timezone');

var timestamp = Date.now();

var IST1 = moment(timestamp).utcOffset('+05:30').format('ddd MMM D Y hh:mm:ss A ')
console.log("IST1 '+05:30' --> ", IST1);

var IST2 = moment(timestamp).utcOffset('+19800').format('ddd MMM D Y hh:mm:ss A ')
console.log("IST2 '+19800' --> ", IST2);

But i got output like this

IST1 '+05:30' -->  Mon Jun 19 2017 01:39:23 PM 
IST2 '+19800' -->  Tue Jun 20 2017 04:29:23 AM

Using '+05:30', i got correct time. But using '+19800' , i got wrong time. What is the actual issue related with this code?

From Moment docs, it looks like the function utcOffset takes minutes as params and not seconds.

Try using

var IST2 = moment(timestamp)
    .utcOffset('+330')
    .format('ddd MMM D Y hh:mm:ss A ')

and it should work.
