What UTC is and why it matters
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global reference time used by aviation, servers, satellites and international events. GMT is often used as a synonym in everyday speech. Because UTC never changes for daylight saving, it is the safest way to record timestamps in logs, databases and APIs.
Reading timestamps correctly
ISO 8601 timestamps ending in “Z” (for example 2026-03-01T14:00:00Z) are in UTC. Add 5 hours 30 minutes to get India Standard Time: 14:00 UTC is 19:30 IST. When a timestamp has an explicit offset like +05:30 it is already local and needs no conversion.
Converting the other way
To convert IST to UTC, subtract 5 hours 30 minutes: 09:00 IST is 03:30 UTC. Remember that the date can change around midnight.
