About these time zones
India Standard Time (IST)
India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30 and is used across all of India as a single time zone. India does not observe daylight saving time, so IST never changes — but its difference from places that do (like US Eastern Time) changes twice a year.
Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC-8. California, Washington, most of Oregon and Nevada, most of British Columbia and Baja California use PST in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Yukon left Pacific Time in 2020 and now stays on UTC-7 all year.
IST to PST FAQs

On Sunday, September 20, 2026, 9:00 AM IST is 8:30 PM PDT (previous day) in Pacific Time.
How many hours ahead is IST from PST?
It depends on the time of year because of daylight saving time. Now until Nov 1, 2026: India Standard Time is 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of Pacific Time (IST → PDT). Nov 1, 2026 – Mar 14, 2027: India Standard Time is 13 hours 30 minutes ahead of Pacific Time (IST → PST).
Should I use PST or PDT?
Pacific Time is on PDT (UTC-7) on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Many people write “PST” all year, but strictly PST means Pacific Standard Time (always UTC-8). This converter follows the real local time in Pacific Time, including daylight saving time.
What is the best time for a call between IST and PST?
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, good options are 9:30 AM IST (9:00 PM PDT). There is no overlap of 9 AM–5 PM working hours, so these fall early or late for one side.
Does IST change for daylight saving time?
No. IST stays at UTC+5:30 all year.
Does PST change for daylight saving time?
The region changes: Pacific Time switches between PST and PDT, so conversions depend on the date. PST itself always means UTC-8.
