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.
GST is 1 hour 30 minutes behind IST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: Neither IST nor GST observes Daylight Saving Time. The 1h 30m offset is constant year-round with no seasonal variation.
