CET vs IST

Central European Time (CET/CEST) is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30 year-round.

Because Central European Time observes daylight saving and the other zone does not, the gap changes during the year: 4.5 hours ahead in the northern winter and 3.5 hours ahead in summer, with a few weeks in spring and autumn where it's an hour different again. The converter uses the exact rules for the date you choose.

Scheduling between CET and IST

The working-day overlap is a few hours: morning in the zone that's behind matches afternoon in the zone that's ahead. For example, 9 AM CET is 12:30 PM IST. Always write the city alongside the abbreviation in invites — several abbreviations (CST, IST, AST) are used by more than one region.
