Convert India Standard Time to US Eastern Time, accounting for daylight saving in the US.
Common uses
- Schedule calls between India and the US East Coast.
Tips for best results
- The difference is 9h30 in winter (EST) and 10h30 in summer (EDT).
Daylight saving and the time difference
India Standard Time is UTC+05:30 all year. US Eastern Time is UTC−5 (EST) in winter and UTC−4 (EDT) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. That makes India 10 h 30 min ahead in winter and 9 h 30 min ahead in summer.
Scheduling tips
Overlap is short: 8:00–10:00 AM in New York is 6:30–8:30 PM (summer) or 5:30–7:30 PM (winter) in India. Put both local times in every invitation and let calendar apps convert automatically to avoid missed calls.
Business hours overlap
With a 9h30–10h30 gap, the working days in India and the US East Coast barely overlap. Most teams meet in the US morning, which is India's evening, or use asynchronous updates.
