Change date to string only if you want it to display on UI otherwise don't change the type. — Mahesh, Mar 23 '17 at 07:01

You need to convert it to string:

binModel.UpdatedTime = bin.timestamp.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

Or Try to parse the datetime. For example

DateTime dateformat = DateTime.ParseExact(Convert.ToDateTime(bin.timestamp), "dd/M/yyyy h:mm:ss tt",CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
binModel.UpdatedTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(dateformat,TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("India Standard Time")).ToString();

A DateTime has no display format.
Only string represnetations of DateTime does.
You can specify the desired format as a parameter in one of the the ToString method overloads of the DateTime struct:

 var s = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/M/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt");

Now s contains the folowing string: "23/3/2017 09:01:32 AM" (my local time)
