How time zone conversion works
Each place keeps a local time that's offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). India is UTC+5:30, the UAE is UTC+4, and New York is UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 during daylight saving. Converting a time means finding the same instant expressed in a different zone. This tool uses your browser's built-in time zone data, so daylight-saving changes are applied automatically for whichever date you pick.
Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between India and the UAE?
India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of the UAE. When it's 3:00 pm in India, it's 1:30 pm in Dubai.
Does this handle daylight saving time?
Yes. The converter uses your device's time zone database, so US, UK and other DST changes are applied automatically based on the date you enter.
Why does the date sometimes change?
When zones are far apart, converting across midnight rolls the date to the previous or next day. The result shows the weekday and date so you can see this.
