India time to Dhaka time

The time difference

Dhaka is 30 minutes ahead of India all year. Neither place changes its clocks, so the difference never moves. India is always UTC+5:30, known as IST.

India time to Dhaka time

Good hours to start a call (8 am to 9 pm in both places): from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm India time. Hours that start inside office time (9 am to 6 pm) in both: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm India time.

Worked examples

All year. An office that closes at 6:00 pm in India closes when it is 6:30 pm in Dhaka. A 9:00 am start in Dhaka is 8:30 am in India, and its 6:00 pm finish is 5:30 pm in India. A message sent at 10:30 pm from India lands at 11:00 pm in Dhaka.

When the date is different

Dhaka is ahead of India, so for 30 minutes of every day the calendar date differs: from 11:30 pm India time until midnight, Dhaka 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 Dhaka belongs to has its largest city, Dhaka, at about 90.4° east. The sun crosses the sky between those two lines in about 32 minutes. Clock time rounds that to a tidy figure: 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.
