How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
IST is 4 hours behind ACST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: ACST observes DST; IST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when ACST changes its clocks.

South Australia observes DST (ACDT, UTC+10:30); the Northern Territory remains on ACST year-round. SA has used the same Sunday transition dates as the eastern states since the 2008/09 DST season — older sources stating SA changes one week later are out of date.
IST · India Time
Standard offset +05:30
India Time remains on a constant standard offset for the year.
India does not observe daylight saving time. The IST offset of UTC+5:30 is constant year-round. Note: 'IST' is sometimes ambiguous — it can also refer to Irish Standard Time (Ireland's summer time). On TimeAtlas, IST refers exclusively to India Standard Time.
