About IST and EET
IST (India Standard Time) covers India and is anchored to the IANA zone Asia/Kolkata. It does not observe daylight saving time — the offset stays fixed all year.
EET (Eastern European Time) covers Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Ukraine via Europe/Athens. It observes daylight saving time, so the gap between these two zones shifts twice a year.
Because at least one of these zones uses DST, the time difference between IST and EET is not constant — it shifts by an hour during the spring and autumn DST transitions. The hour grid below recomputes the difference for any specific date you click, using the IANA rules baked into your browser.
