Frequently Asked Questions
What is IST — India Standard Time?
IST stands for India Standard Time, which is UTC+5:30 (five and a half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time). India does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so the offset stays constant year-round. IST is uniform across the entire country, from Kerala in the south to Ladakh in the north.
What is the time difference between India and Dubai?
India Standard Time is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of UAE (Gulf Standard Time, GST = UTC+4). So when it is 10:00 AM in Dubai, it is 11:30 AM in India. Since neither country observes Daylight Saving Time, this 1.5-hour difference is fixed throughout the year — useful for frequent India–UAE business calls.
What is the time difference between India and the USA?
The gap depends on the US time zone. IST is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of US Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5). When the US observes Daylight Saving Time (EDT, UTC−4), IST is 9 hours 30 minutes ahead. For US Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8), IST is 13 hours 30 minutes ahead.
