About EST and IST

Eastern Time (EST, UTC−5) covers New York, Toronto, Miami and Atlanta, and observes daylight saving (EST in winter, EDT in summer). India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) covers Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai, and fixed at UTC+5:30 all year (India has no daylight saving).

Because Eastern Time observes daylight saving while the other side doesn't, the difference shifts by one hour between winter and summer — the table below shows both.
