IST (Indian Standard Time) is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of EST (Eastern Standard Time). This means when it's 12:00 PM in EST, it's 10:30 PM the same day in IST. To find EST time now in India, simply add 10 hours and 30 minutes to the current Eastern Standard Time.
This converter uses Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5) consistently. During Daylight Saving Time periods (typically March to November), the Eastern US uses EDT (UTC-4). If you need to convert EDT to IST, the difference would be 9 hours and 30 minutes instead of 10 hours and 30 minutes.
