PST ↔ IST Time Converter

India Standard Time (IST) is 13h 30m ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST). PST runs at UTC-8 / UTC-7 (PDT) and IST at UTC+5:30. Quick time examples: 8:00 AM PST = 9:30 PM IST; 12:00 PM PST = 1:30 AM IST; 5:00 PM PST = 6:30 AM IST.

To convert PST to IST, add 13 hours 30 minutes to the PST time. For example, 12:00 PM PST becomes 1:30 AM IST. When the result crosses midnight, advance the date by one day (shown as "+1 Day" in the converter). Because IST uses a :30 offset, results always land on a :30-minute mark.

India Standard Time (IST) is 13h 30m ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST). Reversed: PST is 13h 30m behind of IST. Practical example: noon in New Delhi (12:00 PM IST) corresponds to 10:30 PM PST in Los Angeles, and 5 PM in New Delhi corresponds to 3:30 AM PST.

Pacific Standard Time (PST) is the standard civil time for Los Angeles and the surrounding region, operating at UTC-8 / UTC-7 (PDT) from UTC. It observes Daylight Saving Time and advances its clocks by one hour during summer — the effective offset changes seasonally. Major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Las Vegas, Vancouver.

India Standard Time (IST) covers New Delhi and the surrounding region at UTC+5:30 from UTC. It does not observe Daylight Saving Time — the offset is fixed at UTC+5:30 all year with no seasonal change. Cities in this zone: New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Colombo.

Yes. PST observes Daylight Saving Time and moves its clocks by one hour in summer, while IST stays fixed at UTC+5:30 all year. This means the offset between the two zones shifts by one hour when PST enters or exits its DST period. The live converter on this page always shows the current accurate offset.

The best meeting window is where standard working hours (9 AM – 6 PM) overlap in both zones. Since IST is 13h 30m ahead of PST, mornings in the earlier zone align with afternoons or evenings in the later zone. Target 8 AM – 11 AM in the earlier-offset zone to keep both sides in reasonable hours. The meeting hours table above shows the exact recommended slots for this pair. Any time where one side falls before 7 AM or after 9 PM is best avoided for regular team calls.

Type any time directly into the IST field in the bidirectional converter above — it instantly shows the PST result. Alternatively, subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from the IST time manually. For a dedicated reverse page, visit: IST to PST converter ↗.

Yes — this is a large offset, and many hours will cross midnight. When the converted time passes 11:59 PM, the date advances — the converter shows "+1 Day". When it goes before 12:00 AM, the date moves back — "-1 Day" appears. The 24-hour reference table also shows day changes in the Day column. Always check the date indicator when sending calendar invites across these two zones to avoid accidentally booking on the wrong date.

Pacific Standard Time (PST) is used in: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Las Vegas, Vancouver. The zone operates at UTC-8 / UTC-7 (PDT)and shifts by one hour during DST.

India Standard Time (IST) covers: New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Colombo. It runs at UTC+5:30, fixed year-round with no DST change. Use the live clocks at the top of this page to see the current local time in both zones side by side.

The standard offset is 13h 30m ahead, but this can shift by one hour during DST transition periods. When PST moves to or from its daylight variant, the gap changes. The live converter always shows the current accurate offset.

When creating a recurring meeting that spans PST and IST, set the event timezone in your calendar app using the IANA timezone names: America/Los_Angeles for PST and Asia/Kolkata for IST. Using IANA names rather than fixed UTC offsets ensures the calendar app automatically adjusts future occurrences for any DST changes, so you never accidentally schedule at the wrong time after a clock transition. For a quick lookup of any specific time, the converter on this page is the fastest way to verify both sides before you send the invite.

PST (Pacific Standard Time) is UTC-8 and applies during winter, roughly from early November to mid-March. PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) is UTC-7 and applies during summer when the US West Coast moves its clocks forward by one hour. In everyday speech, people often say "PST" year-round even when technically on PDT. The live clocks and converter on this page use the America/Los_Angeles IANA zone, which automatically switches between PST and PDT based on the current date — so you always see the correct offset without needing to track the transition yourself.

India Standard Time is fixed at UTC+5:30 rather than a whole-hour offset because India uses a single nationwide timezone. Given the country's wide east-west geographic span, a half-hour compromise best approximates solar noon across most of India without forcing two separate zones. No part of India observes Daylight Saving Time, so IST stays at UTC+5:30 every day of the year. The practical effect: any conversion involving IST will always land on a :30-minute mark (e.g., 8:00 AM PST = 9:30 PM IST).
