Mrugesh's answer is perfect, but if someone need to use their own formats, or in some different format, I've generalised it so you can give different format or same in both parameters.

func localToUTC(date:String, fromFormat: String, toFormat: String) -> String {

    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = fromFormat
    dateFormatter.calendar = NSCalendar.current
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
    dateFormatter.date
    let dt = dateFormatter.date(from: date)
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = toFormat

    return dateFormatter.string(from: dt!)
}

func UTCToLocal(date:String, fromFormat: String, toFormat: String) -> String {
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = fromFormat
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")

    let dt = dateFormatter.date(from: date)
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = toFormat

return dateFormatter.string(from: dt!)
}

let localDateAsString = UTCToLocal(date: dateAsString!, fromFormat: "hh:mm a, dd MMM yyyy", toFormat: "hh:mm a, dd MMM yyyy")

You can use it as above. Hope it helps.
