What is 8 PM CST in IST?

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: 8 PM CST = 6:30 AM IST the next day
• November 1 to March 13: 8 PM CST = 7:30 AM IST the next day
• March 14 to October 13: 8 PM CST = 6:30 AM IST the next day

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