Pacific Time to India Time
Pacific Time (PT) changes between Pacific Standard Time (PST) and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). India Standard Time does not observe daylight saving time. India is 13 hours 30 minutes ahead of PST and 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of PDT.
| Pacific Time | 8 AM → IST | 10 AM → IST |
|---|---|---|
| PST · 8 hours behind UTC | 9:30 PM | 11:30 PM |
| PDT · 7 hours behind UTC | 8:30 PM | 10:30 PM |
8 AM PT to IST
8 AM Pacific Time is 8:30 PM IST during PDT and 9:30 PM IST during PST. The answer depends on the date — choose PT to IST above and set the day of the meeting.
10 AM PT to IST
10 AM Pacific Time is 10:30 PM IST during PDT and 11:30 PM IST during PST. 7 PM Pacific Time lands at 7:30 AM IST the next day on PDT, or 8:30 AM IST the next day on PST.
PST vs PDT to IST
Why is India 12.5 or 13.5 hours ahead of Pacific Time? PST is Pacific Standard Time, eight hours behind UTC. PDT is Pacific Daylight Time, seven hours behind UTC. India stays on IST, five and a half hours ahead of UTC, all year. PST to IST never changes: always 13 hours 30 minutes ahead. Current Pacific Time to India does change — 13 hours 30 minutes while Los Angeles is on PST, then 12 hours 30 minutes from mid-March to early November on PDT. PST is not the same as Pacific Time all year: Pacific Time means PST in winter and PDT in summer.
- PST is 8 hours behind UTC · India is 13 hours 30 minutes ahead of PST
- PDT is 7 hours behind UTC · India is 12 hours 30 minutes ahead of PDT
- PST to IST stays the same all year
- PT to IST follows the date (PST or PDT)
If the invite names PST, stay on PST to IST. If it says Pacific Time or California time, choose PT to IST and pick the date.
Pacific Time to India Meeting Planner
The West Coast and India rarely share a comfortable workday: a Pacific morning is already evening in India, and a Pacific evening is the next morning there. Each row shows India time during daylight time first (mid-March to early November), then standard time.

|---|---|---|
| 8:00 AM | 8:30 PM / 9:30 PM | India evening |
