PST to IST Converter — US Pacific Time to India

What This Tool Does

This tool converts a specific date and time from US Pacific Time — used by Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and the rest of the US West Coast — to India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). It automatically detects whether your chosen date falls under Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) and adjusts accordingly.

How to Use It

Enter the US Pacific date and time you want to convert (the tool is pre-set to convert PST/PDT → IST).
Press Convert.
The equivalent IST date, day of week and time appear instantly — the conversion typically lands on the next calendar day in India, given the roughly 13-hour gap.

Example

A 10:00 AM PDT standup invite from a Silicon Valley team lands at 10:30 PM IST the same day during US daylight saving, or 11:30 PM IST outside that window (PST) — easy to get wrong without checking, since the gap shifts by a full hour depending on the date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between PST and IST?

US Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 13 hours 30 minutes behind IST. During Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), that gap narrows to 12 hours 30 minutes, since only the US side shifts for daylight saving — IST stays fixed year-round.

How do I know if a US Pacific date is PST or PDT?

The US typically observes Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) from mid-March to early November, and Pacific Standard Time (PST) the rest of the year. Enter the actual date and this tool applies the correct offset automatically using your browser's built-in time zone data.

Is San Francisco the only city on US Pacific Time?

No — Pacific Time covers the entire US West Coast, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas, plus parts of Canada. This tool's PST/PDT conversion is accurate for any of them.
