Download India Time Clock

[1]India uses only one time zone (even though it spans two geographical time zones) across the whole nation and all its territories, called Indian Standard Time (IST), which equates to UTC+05:30, i.e. five and a half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). India does not currently observe daylight saving time (DST or summer time).

The official time signal is given by the Time and Frequency Standards Laboratory. The IANA time zone database contains only one zone pertaining to India, namely Asia/Kolkata. The date and time notation in India shows some peculiarities.

Time that is measurable is that which is in common use, beginning with the pra (or, the time span of one breath). The pala contains six pras. The ghalik is 60 palas, and the nakatra ahrtra, or astronomical day, contains 60 ghaliks. A nakatra msa, or astronomical month, consists of 30 days.

Taking a day to be 24 hours, the smallest time unit, pra, or one respiratory cycle, equals 4 seconds, a value consistent with the normal breathing frequency of 15 breaths/min used in modern medical research.[5] The Surya Siddhanta also described a method of converting local time to the standard time of Ujjain.[6] Despite these early advances, standard time was not widely used outside astronomy. For most of India's history, ruling kingdoms kept their own local time, typically using the Hindu calendar in both lunar and solar units.[7] For example, the Jantar Mantar observatory built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in Jaipur in 1733 contains large sundials, up to 27 m (90 ft) high, which were used to accurately determine the local time.

In 1802 Madras Time was set up by John Goldingham[8] and this was later used widely by the railways in India.[9] Local time zones were also set up in the important cities of Bombay and Calcutta and as Madras time was intermediate to these, it was one of the early contenders for an Indian standard time zone.[10][11] Though British India did not officially adopt the standard time zones until 1905, when the meridian passing east of Allahabad at 82.5 E longitude was picked as the central meridian for India, corresponding to a single time zone for the country (UTC+05:30). Indian Standard Time came into force on 1 January 1906, and also applied to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon). However, Calcutta Time was officially maintained as a separate time zone until 1948 and Bombay Time until 1955.[9]

In 1925, time synchronisation began to be relayed through omnibus telephone systems and control circuits to organisations that needed to know the precise time. This continued until the 1940s, when time signals began to be broadcast using the radio by the government.[9] Briefly during World War II, clocks under Indian Standard Time were advanced by one hour, referred to as War Time. This provision lasted from 1 September 1942, to 15 October 1945.[12]

After independence in 1947, the Indian government established IST as the official time for the whole country, although Mumbai and Kolkata retained their own local time for a few more years.[9] In 2014 Assamese politicians proposed following a daylight-saving schedule that would be ahead of IST by an hour, but as of March 2020 it has not been approved by the central government.[13]

My timezone city at the 6 o'clock mark is showing Karachi however theres a 30 min difference between india and karachi. India is UTC/GMT +5.30 and Karachi is + 5. Due to this its practically showing wrong time for all the cities.

I have a machine that dual boots Kali Linux and Windows.The correct local time when I ran my tests was 11:19 IST (India Standard Time), which is of course 05:49 UTC.As you can see from the edit history of this question, I originally posted this a few minutes later at 05:58 UTC.

The -g option is important for the reasons explained at "What is the recommended way to synchronize time using NTP?".Your clock is a lot more than 1000 seconds different from the correct UTC value.It is five and a half hours different.Without the use of the -g option, ntpd will simply refuse to correct this situation.

(There are of course other ways to re-set your system clock to the correct UTC time.You could hand-enter it in the machine's firmware's SETUP utility, or even hand-enter it with the date command.There are even tools other than ntpd that you could use to keep synchronized to NTP servers from now on, such as chronyd from the chrony package for example.)

What has happened is this.When you were running only Windows, your hardware real-time clock (RTC) was interpreted as the local (IST) time by Windows.You installed a Linux-based operating system (this applying to more than just Kali Linux), but didn't fix a conflict between Linux-based operating systems (indeed Unix-like operating systems in general) and Windows.

Windows thought, and still thinks no doubt, that your real-time clock is reporting a local (IST) time.Normally, Linux-based operating systems think that your real-time clock reports a universal (UTC) time.The actual clock hardware does not have a timezone register, note; so it is up to each operating system to decide what the date and time registers in the clock actually represent, what timezone the clock is understood to be running in.

Linux-based operating systems often give the choice of interpreting the real-time clock registers the same way that Windows does, but this is a poor choice for a lot of reasons, which would be (and is, here and there on the WWW) an entire Q&A in its own right.The far better choice is to have Windows and your Linux-based operating system both agree to understand the RTC registers as reading a universal (UTC) date and time.

You do this by configuring Windows; there is a fairly widely known registry setting.You actually do not need to do anything on the Linux side except for synchronizing the RTC to the UTC date and time.As you can see from the output of timedatectl when you ran it, you already have Asia/Kolkata as your (default) timezone and already have "RTC in local TZ" (i.e. "understand the RTC registers as local, the same way that Windows does") set to "no".

So why is your GUI clock right?It is because, ironically, you haven't configured it with the correct IST timezone in its, or your desktop's, settings.It's showing you the UTC time, or possibly the Dublin/London/Lisbon/Bamako/Freetown/Yamoussoukro time, and because on your system the "UTC time" taken from your RTC by the operating system is in reality the local IST time values, as put there by Windows, your GUI clock showing the UTC time just happens to look right.

This is the same reason that the "Universal time" reported by timedatectl has the right date and time for local time.Anything reporting what your Linux-based operating system currently thinks to be UTC is actually reporting local IST date and time.

I want to get current time for india, i updated my system clock after 5 minute then current time, so my system clock is running 5 minute earlier than actual india time but i want to get standard time for india.

There are two primary methods of showing the time. First there's the 12 hour clock that uses AM and PM, and then there's the 24 hour clock.

Most countries prefer the 24 hour clock method, but the 12 hour clock is widely used in Latin America and English-speaking countries. In the 12 hour clock method, it is 12:00 twice a day at midnight (AM) and noon (PM).

At 4:30 a.m. in the middle of summer, the Indian coastal metropolis of Mumbai is still blanketed in darkness. Hundreds of miles to the east, at that exact same moment, the sun is up above the terraced slopes of Assam, a northeastern Indian state. The time on the clock there? 4:30 a.m. also.

Countries like India and China, emerging out of empire and war in the mid-20th century, reckoned a single time zone would serve as a unifying force. Time may be a metaphysical concept, but it has real political effects. The historian Benedict Anderson, one of the leading theorists of modern nationalism, has suggested that the European nation-state emerged on the back of two popular inventions: the print newspaper and the clock. Nothing quite binds people together more than the certainty that there are others around them, living in the same moment, thinking the same thoughts. 006ab0faaa
