Historical Context of PST and IST
Pacific Standard Time was established in 1883 as part of the North American time zone system, while Indian Standard Time was adopted in 1906. The PST to IST relationship has remained consistent, with only PST observing daylight saving time.
India maintains a single time zone (IST) across the entire country, unlike the United States which spans multiple zones. This makes PST to IST conversion straightforward once you account for daylight saving time.
