That’s because of slow internet connection.Timeout set for NTP server is set 10 sec and if request takes more time than this then it will throw that exception.
You can use ‘is number’ block to check whether response is epoch timestamp or exception.

thanks lot for your reply… 
How can I know the time and the date of a specific time zone differente from my local time zone?
use the clock component and its FormatDate method together with the pattern Z, see also App Inventor Code Snippets | Pura Vida Apps
for a list of all patterns see also SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 7 )

Sometimes I get this error =
The operation EpochToDateTime cannot accept the arguments: , [java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host “1.pool.ntp.org”: No address associated with hostname], [dd/MM/yyyy], [Asia/Calcutta]
I think this is no longer usable.
I shall remove it (that server) in next update.

I am using your extension in my app at 3-4 places, so I have to change all of them because my app is ready to publish
