Pacific Time (PST) is 12 hours 30 minutes behind India Standard Time (IST).

Here is every hour of the day in PST and the same moment in IST.

The green rows are the hours when both zones are inside 9 AM to 5 PM. The row marked Now is the hour it is in Pacific Time right now.

A team split between PT and India is never at work together between 9 AM and 5 PM.

Taking 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock as the working day, the two zones are never at work at the same moment, so a meeting means an early start or a late finish on one side.

A team spread across two time zones has fewer chances to notice someone drifting away. TeamPredict reads public LinkedIn signals to flag resignation risk early, wherever people work.

The gap between PST and IST moves between 12 hours 30 minutes and 13 hours 30 minutes during the year.

India Standard Time never changes its clocks, but the United States does, so the gap moves by an hour each time Pacific Time moves.

These are the clock changes of both zones in 2026 and 2027.

PST stands for Pacific Time and IST for India Standard Time on this page.

Pacific Time is PST (UTC−8) in winter and PDT (UTC−7) in summer. People write PST all year, and this page does too; the clock reads PDT right now. It moves its clocks forward at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March and back at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November.

IST on this page means India Standard Time, UTC+5:30, which India keeps all year. The same letters are also used for Irish Standard Time and Israel Standard Time.
