Hi Anvesh,
System.now() would give you the current date and time.
See the links below,

Where are you doing this? If it is on a formula field, workflow field update, etc. then you can use "NOW()", which will give you the user local time.
Hi Anvesh,
1.To Show Current Date on your field add this function in your Formula Editior --> NOW() , Please make sure that that field type is Date
2. If you wrote this in your Text field use this function in your Formula Editior --> TEXT(NOW() )
Hope this will helpful for you...!
In my case I use it in creating a file name for a Conga report: &OFN=MyReport+{!Today}
This needs to be answered for 2021 using Flow. In Flow, use the {!$Flow.CurrentDateTime} ($Flow | CurrentDateTime).
