Frequently Asked Questions

What does the EST to IST Converter do?
It converts a time from Eastern Time (EST/EDT) to India Standard Time (IST) so you can schedule meetings, interviews, and deadlines across the US and India without manual math.
How many hours ahead is IST compared to Eastern Time?
IST is typically 9 hours 30 minutes ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST). If Eastern Time is on daylight time (EDT), the difference is usually 9 hours 30 minutes as well, but always confirm using the date because DST causes confusion around transition weeks.
Does this converter handle daylight saving time correctly?
Yes, when you select the correct date. Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT during the year, so picking the date ensures you get the right IST result.
Why do I see EST, EDT, or ET - what's the difference?
ET means Eastern Time in general. EST is standard time, while EDT is daylight time. The same clock time can map to different IST times depending on which one applies on that date.
Is this EST to IST converter safe to use?
Yes. This tool runs 100% client-side, so the time you enter is processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
