Frequently Asked Questions
IST (India Standard Time) is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of EST (Eastern Standard Time). This means when it is noon in New York (EST), it is 10:30 PM in Mumbai (IST). IST is UTC+5:30, which is a half-hour offset from many other time zones.
To convert EST to IST, add 10 hours and 30 minutes. For example: 9:00 AM EST = 7:30 PM IST. During daylight saving time (March to November), the US shifts to EDT, so add 9 hours and 30 minutes instead. For example: 9:00 AM EDT = 6:30 PM IST.
