@SnehalPatel : checked that already. that is useful when somebody wants it in a specific format like DD/MM/YY or DD-MM-YY. – vishal Feb 21 '17 at 10:14

You can use __time() function, by default it returns current time in milliseconds since beginning of Unix epoch
If you need this time in "seconds" precision - just divide it by 1000 using i.e. __javaScript() function
So:
${__time(,)}will return current time in milliseconds${__javaScript(${__time(,)} / 1000,)}- will return current time in seconds${__javaScript(Math.round(${__time(,)} / 1000),)}- will round up the current time in seconds to the nearest integer

Use __time function with format string as /1000.
${__time(/1000,)} - to get time in seconds
From JMeter DOCs:
For example, "/1000" returns the current time in seconds since the epoch.

yeah Naveen..checked that. but my application supports date in only seconds. i just wanted to know about any other function or method which can change it to seconds while running the test. – vishal Feb 21 '17 at 10:21

Use __timeShift() and __jexl3() functions combination
with __timeShift() you will get the date in past/future in milliseconds since start of the Unix epoch see screenshot here
and with __jexl3() you can simply divide the resulting value by 1000 to get the value in seconds
