Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Aurangabad's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- How many time zones does India have?
- India operates under a single time zone, Indian Standard Time (IST), set at UTC+5:30, despite spanning almost 30 degrees of longitude.
- What is India's time zone abbreviation?
- IST stands for Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), observed uniformly across the entire country, including Aurangabad.
- Why is UTC+5:30 unusual?
- Unlike most offsets in increments of whole hours, India's +5:30 half-hour offset is shared only with Sri Lanka.
- Does Aurangabad observe daylight saving?
- No. India has not changed its clocks since 1945; the only daylight saving it used was a wartime hour (UTC+6:30) between 1941 and 1945.
- How does IST affect cross-country calls?
- When scheduling video calls with Aurangabad, remember IST is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC—half-hour offset makes it tricky for scheduling with whole-hour offset countries.
