EST vs IST

Eastern Time (US & Canada) (EST/EDT) is UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer. India Standard Time (IST) is UTC+5:30 year-round.

Because Eastern Time (US & Canada) observes daylight saving and the other zone does not, the gap changes during the year: 10.5 hours ahead in the northern winter and 9.5 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 EST and IST

With 9.5 hours between them there is little or no overlap in normal working hours; one side will be early morning or evening. 8 AM EST is 5:30 PM IST, and 6 PM EST is 3:30 AM IST (+1 day). Always write the city alongside the abbreviation in invites — several abbreviations (CST, IST, AST) are used by more than one region.
