IIRC `System.Time` has been deprecated and superseded by the `time` package. — Emily, Nov 16 '19 at 11:17

You can use getCurrentTime from Data.Time.Clock.

Go through the above Doc.

System.Time provides functionality for clock times, including timezone information (i.e, the functionality of "time.h", adapted to the Haskell environment). It follows RFC 1129 in its use of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
