About EST to IST
US Eastern Time switches between EST (UTC-5) in winter and EDT (UTC-4) during daylight saving. India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) doesn't observe daylight saving, so the gap to IST shifts between 10.5 and 9.5 hours depending on the time of year. This converter automatically uses the current correct offset.
