Hi @SarbarthaR4428,
Below is the approach you can follow in pega to know for the DayLight on or off. I followed and get the day light status
1) Create an activity and add an local variable as shown below
2) Implement the following steps in the activity
Java step : IsDayLight = java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().inDaylightTime( new Date() );
This api returns true or false. true means ON, false means OFF. You can use following api, if you want to get the day light value based on timezone
java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone( "US/Alaska").inDaylightTime( new Date() );

java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone( "US/Alaska").inDaylightTime( new Date() );
The IsDayLighOn property is truefalse type in PEGA.
Save the activity and run it whenever needed in the application to see the value of the IsDaylightOn property is set to true or false.
I ran it on a button with "Refresh-this-Section and activity" and saw the result
The end result is
Thats It !. Hope this helps !!
Please feel free to reply for any questions,
Thank you,

Hello,
Time zone and Daylight Savings Time conversions
Pega Platform uses the time zones provided by the JVM on which it runs. The JVM typically uses data provided by the Olson TZ database. Details on this database are available from https://www.iana.org/time-zones.
Note: Daylight savings time rules are supplied by Java JDK vendors. In a multinode system, it is important that the same rules are installed on each node. For details of vendor JDK support of daylight savings time and downloads, see the Oracle knowledge base.
