Tips for global scheduling

For recurring meetings across IST and US timezones, 8–9 PM IST maps to 7:30–8:30 AM EST and 4:30–5:30 AM PST — a common overlap window. IST to UK overlap is easiest 1:30–4:30 PM IST (8–11 AM GMT in winter).

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between IST and UTC?
IST (Indian Standard Time) is UTC+5:30 — five and a half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. India uses a single time zone for the entire country despite its geographic spread.
What time is 9 AM IST in New York?
9:00 AM IST is 10:30 PM EST (previous day) in New York during standard time, or 11:30 PM EDT during daylight saving time. Use this converter to get the exact current conversion accounting for DST.
Does this handle Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
Yes. The converter uses the browser's Intl.DateTimeFormat API, which automatically applies Daylight Saving Time rules for each timezone based on the selected date. India does not observe DST.
What is UTC vs GMT?
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) are numerically the same for most purposes. GMT is a timezone used by the UK in winter; UTC is the universal time standard that all other timezones are defined relative to.
Can I convert a future or past date/time?
Yes. Enter any date and time in the date and time fields, select the source timezone, and the converter shows the equivalent time in all 12 featured time zones.
