Hi Andrey, 
The TZSET.exe file couldn't do anything helpful, but after looking in the
Win7 control panel, in the "Date and Time" config, there was an option which
was not set (never knew about it). Changed it to UTC+05.30 and removed all
extra settings in the cygwin.bat. Restarted cygwin and voila, date cmd is
giving correct system time. 

Hi Corinna, 
Anyway will give a try out on the case insensitive check of time-zone.
And thanx a lot for following up and the help.
