The time difference between Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Indian Standard Time (IST) is 10 hours and 30 minutes. IST is ahead of EST.
Why is there a 30-minute difference in the time conversion between EST and IST?
India follows a time offset that includes a 30-minute increment, unlike most time zones that adjust by whole hours. This is due to its longitudinal position and the desire to have a standard time zone for the entire country.
Can you provide examples of common time conversions from EST to IST?
8:00 AM EST = 6:30 PM IST - 12:00 PM (noon) EST = 10:30 PM IST - 6:00 PM EST = 4:30 AM IST (next day)
