Understanding PST and IST in 2026
Time zone abbreviations like PST and IST are handy shorthand, but they hide a trap: several regions reuse the same letters, and many switch their underlying offset twice a year for daylight saving. PST maps to Pacific Time (US) and IST maps to India Standard Time here. Rather than memorising raw offsets, check the live conversion above -- it uses today's date and the IANA time zone database, so you never get it wrong.
For meetings with three or more locations, drop the cities into the meeting planner, which computes the live overlap with daylight saving baked in for every city at once.
Frequently Asked Questions: PST to IST
What is the time difference between PST and IST in 2026?
IST (India Standard Time, UTC+5:30) and PST (Pacific Time (US), UTC-8/-7) are in different time zones. The exact gap is shown live above using IANA time zone data. Where a time zone observes daylight saving, the gap shifts by 1 hour seasonally -- this tool always uses the current rule.
When it's 9:00 AM PST, what time is it in IST?
Check the live hourly conversion table above. Because PST and IST may each observe DST on different schedules, the conversion depends on the current date. The green rows show when IST is in working hours.
