Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Central Time and India Standard Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • October 14 to October 31: 12 PM CST = 10:30 PM IST
  • November 1 to March 13: 12 PM CST = 11:30 PM IST
  • March 14 to October 13: 12 PM CST = 10:30 PM IST

Central Time switches between CST and CDT for daylight saving time; people often say CST all year.
