India–US Working Hours Overlap

India–US overlap depends on the US city, date and working hours. Eastern Time and Pacific Time change for daylight saving while IST remains UTC+5:30, so a fixed “India is always X hours ahead” statement can be wrong.

Use the named city and date

New York and Los Angeles do not share the same offset from India. The difference also changes when US daylight saving begins or ends. A meeting planner should show both local dates, not just a number of hours.

Practical planning

For a normal 9 AM–5 PM local workday, India afternoon and evening often overlap with the US morning, while Pacific Time generally creates a later India evening. Confirm the participant's actual schedule, holidays and location.
