About IST to PDT Conversion

Last updated: April 2026

Converting time between IST and PST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. IST (IST) operates at UTC+5, while PST (PDT) is set to UTC-7. This means PST is 12.5 hours behind IST. For example, when it's 2:59 PM IST on June 9, 2026, it's 2:29 AM PDT in PST. America/Los_Angeles observes daylight saving time, switching between PST (UTC-8) and PDT (UTC-7), while Asia/Kolkata does not observe daylight saving time. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in PST for any time in IST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
