My computer's date is changing automatically whenever I shut down it down. What could be the possible reason and solution??
PC's date changing automatically
Can you be more specific ?

Check if your timezone is set to UTC +5:30 Chennai Kolkata Mumbai New Delhi.

if date resets back to some old time/year after every shutdown then it means motherboard CMOS battery(button cell) needs changing.

It can only be done manually, there is no automatic way of changing it.
Fun apart, its a button cell (just like u see in a watch but larger than that ofcourse) on your motherboard. Its easy to locate and change.
well thank you..
and by manually i actually meant whether i can change it myself or I hav to take it to any shop cuz I dont know anything about computer hardware..
now got it.. !!

You can do it yourself, it's damn easy. Just get a new CMOS cell (costs ₹25) and look for videos on YouTube on how to replace the cell. It's just a 30s procedure.
@harshilsharma63.. thnks I will check it out... 
Yep, CMOS battery is the culprit. Replacing it is as simple as replacing the battery of you mobile phone.

You need to change your CMOS battery
