What is 8 PM EST in IST?

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: 8 PM EST = 6:30 AM IST the next day
• March 14 to November 6: 8 PM EST = 5:30 AM IST the next day
• November 7 to November 7: 8 PM EST = 6:30 AM IST the next day

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