Watch out: Philippine Standard Time is often written PST locally — the same letters as US Pacific Standard Time, which is sixteen hours behind it.
About India Standard Time
India keeps one clock, UTC+5:30, across a country spanning about 29 degrees of longitude — the sun rises nearly two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than in Gujarat on the same clock. The half-hour offset means most conversions from India land on the half hour rather than the hour. Sri Lanka keeps the same time.

Watch out: IST is also Israel Standard Time (UTC+2) and Irish Standard Time (UTC+1). This page is the Indian one.
