About converting JST to IST

Japan Standard Time (Tokyo) and India Standard Time (India) are in different time zones, so a meeting, call or stream that's convenient in one may be early or late in the other. The clocks above update live and account for daylight saving automatically, so the time difference you see is the real one for today — not a fixed number that goes stale twice a year.

To plan across the two, type a time into the JST box (or tap a quick preset) and read the IST equivalent, including a "next day" or "previous day" note when the conversion crosses midnight. For any other pair of zones or cities, use the full timezone converter.

JST vs IST: the time difference through the year

The difference stays the same all year: IST is 3 h 30 min behind JST.

Daylight saving

Neither JST nor IST uses daylight saving, so this conversion never changes.

India Standard Time is UTC+5:30 all year — one of the few half-hour offsets. India uses a single time zone and has no daylight saving.

Frequently asked questions

6 answers
What is the time difference between JST and IST?
It's shown live at the top of this page (and it can change with daylight saving). The converter uses the current, DST-aware difference between Japan Standard Time and India Standard Time, so the time you see is always right for right now.
How do I convert JST to IST?
Enter a time in the JST box and the equivalent IST time appears instantly, adjusted for the current offset between the two zones — including a note if it lands on the previous or next day.
Is this JST to IST converter accurate with daylight saving?
Yes. It uses your browser's built-in time-zone database (the IANA zones behind Tokyo and India), which tracks daylight-saving changes automatically, so the current times and difference are correct.
What time is it in India right now?
The live clock above shows the current time in India (IST), updating every second, alongside JST.

No. Neither switch changes the gap: IST is 3 h 30 min behind JST all year.

Office hours overlap from 12:30 PM to 5:00 PM JST (9:00 AM to 1:30 PM IST).
