•What Do PST and IST Actually Mean?
PST — Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8) runs part of the year; the rest of the year the same clocks are on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) instead. People casually say "PST" for both — SyncHours' scrubber below already resolves whichever one is actually in effect for the date you pick.
IST — India Standard Time (IST) is fixed at UTC+5:30 year-round — it does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Timezone abbreviations like these aren't globally unique — several regions reuse the same three or four letters for unrelated zones. The scrubber above is anchored to real IANA timezone data (America/Los_Angeles and Asia/Kolkata) rather than the abbreviation text itself, so there's no ambiguity in the actual conversion.
