Its official offset is UTC+5:30, known as Indian Standard Time (IST), and this offset remains fixed throughout the year.

Sirhind is located in the state of Punjab, in northwestern India, near Fatehgarh Sahib and within the broader regional orbit of Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patiala, and Ambala for business, education, and transport activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time zone is Sirhind in?
Sirhind is in the Asia/Kolkata time zone, which is the official IANA time zone used across India. In everyday use, this is called Indian Standard Time (IST), and it runs at UTC+5:30 throughout the year.
Does Sirhind observe daylight saving time?
No, Sirhind does not observe daylight saving time. Like the rest of India, it stays on IST (UTC+5:30) year-round, so the local clock does not move forward in spring or back in autumn.
What is the time difference between Sirhind and New York?
The time difference depends on the season in New York because the US changes between standard time and daylight saving time. Sirhind is 10 hours 30 minutes ahead of New York during Eastern Standard Time and 9 hours 30 minutes ahead during Eastern Daylight Time, so a 9:00 AM start in Sirhind is usually late evening of the previous day in New York.
What is the best time to call Sirhind from the US?

More precisely, during EDT it corresponds to 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM if the difference is 9.5 hours from 8 AM = 5:30 PM and 10 AM = 7:30 PM.
