Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Eastern Time and India Standard Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • November 8 to March 13: 3 AM EST = 1:30 PM IST
  • March 14 to November 6: 3 AM EST = 12:30 PM IST
  • November 7 to November 7: 3 AM EST = 1:30 PM IST

Eastern Time switches between EST and EDT for daylight saving time; people often say EST all year.
