Outside India

From Asia, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean

The time difference between Asia, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean and India, and how a document signed there is accepted here.

Time difference

India Standard Time is five hours and thirty minutes ahead of UTC throughout the year.

  • Singapore is two hours and thirty minutes ahead of Bengaluru.
  • Tokyo is three hours and thirty minutes ahead of Bengaluru.
  • Sydney is four hours and thirty minutes ahead of Bengaluru, and five hours and thirty minutes ahead while daylight saving time is in force there.
  • Port Louis is one hour and thirty minutes behind Bengaluru.
  • India, Singapore, Japan and Mauritius do not observe daylight saving time, so the difference to those three holds all year.

Documents signed abroad

India is a party to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, 1961, so a public document from another contracting State that carries an apostille issued by the competent authority there is accepted in India without further legalisation. The status table of the Hague Conference lists Australia, Japan, Mauritius and Singapore among the contracting States.

The calculators on this site state figures in Indian rupees. No conversion into another currency is offered.
