Working Across IST and GMT

India ↔ UK

Daylight Saving Time: IST and GMT

IST — India Standard Time
No DST — fixed offset
Year-round: UTC+05:30

India does not observe Daylight Saving Time. IST (UTC+5:30) is fixed year-round. India's unusual 30-minute offset was standardized in 1906 and applies to the entire country despite spanning nearly 30 degrees of longitude.

GMT — Greenwich Mean Time / British Summer Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC+00:00
DST (BST): UTC+01:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-03-29 · back 2026-10-25

The UK observes BST (British Summer Time, UTC+1) from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Outside those dates the zone is GMT (UTC+0).

DST effect on this pair: GMT observes DST; IST does not. During GMT's DST period (2026-03-29 – 2026-10-25), the gap between the two zones shifts by 1 hour.
