Worked examples

While Auckland is UTC+12. An office that closes at 6:00 pm in India closes when it is 12:30 am the next day in Auckland. A 9:00 am start in Auckland is 2:30 am in India, and its 6:00 pm finish is 11:30 am in India. A message sent at 10:30 pm from India lands at 5:00 am the next day in Auckland.

While Auckland is UTC+13. An office that closes at 6:00 pm in India closes when it is 1:30 am the next day in Auckland. A 9:00 am start in Auckland is 1:30 am in India, and its 6:00 pm finish is 10:30 am in India. A message sent at 10:30 pm from India lands at 6:00 am the next day in Auckland.

When the date is different

Auckland is ahead of India (while Auckland is UTC+12), so for 6 hours 30 minutes of every day the calendar date differs: from 5:30 pm India time until midnight, Auckland has already moved to the next day.

Auckland is ahead of India (while Auckland is UTC+13), so for 7 hours 30 minutes of every day the calendar date differs: from 4:30 pm India time until midnight, Auckland has already moved to the next day.

Why the gap is what it is

Indian Standard Time follows the sun at longitude 82.5° east. The zone that Auckland belongs to has its largest city, Auckland, at about 174.8° east. The sun crosses the sky between those two lines in about 6 hours 9 minutes. Clock time rounds that to a tidy figure: 6 hours 30 minutes or 7 hours 30 minutes. The two figures differ because every country picks a round offset that suits its whole territory, and some add summer time on top.

Rows marked in colour fall between 8 am and 9 pm in both places. Dates are from the IANA time zone database 2026f.
