Conversion formula: IST = PST + 13h30 · PDT + 12h30.
| PST | IST |
|---|---|
| 6:00 AM PST | = 7:30 PM IST |

| 8:00 AM PST | = 9:30 PM IST |
| 9:00 AM PST | = 10:30 PM IST |
| 10:00 AM PST | = 11:30 PM IST |
| 12:00 PM PST | = 1:30 AM IST (+1 day) |
| 3:00 PM PST | = 4:30 AM IST (+1 day) |
| 5:00 PM PST | = 6:30 AM IST (+1 day) |
