Java Timezones to milliseconds

I got current IST time and converted it to ET timezone. Then i calculated milliseconds for both. But both give same value. They should give different millisec values, right? I used following method,

EtTimeZone.toInstant().toEpocMillie();

Epoch time will have same value in multiple timezone’s. epoch time is the time in millisec from 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 UTC . In case of other timezone’s starting point is different

In case of IST(UTC+5:30) start point is 1970-01-01 00:05:30.000
