India Standard Time is 1 hour 30 minutes behind

Indochina Time is on UTC+7:00 and India Standard Time is on UTC+5:30 right now. That gap holds all year, because both zones change their clocks together.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm ICT, which is 9:30 am to 4:30 pm IST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

A note on IST: it can also mean Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1). This page means India Standard Time, which is what almost all searches for IST want.

Indochina Time (ICT) is used in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos

India Standard Time (IST) is used in all of India and Sri Lanka, on a single UTC+5:30 offset with no daylight saving
