Hi,

We see two timezones namely Asia/Kolkata and IST available in the list of timezones. However, both represents the same timezone.

What is the difference between them and reasoning behind?

Thanks.

Hi ,

There is no Time difference in Mumbai ,Kolkata and IST. These are the Time zone which is calculating the IST.

Asia/Kolkata is a UTC +05:30 timezone offset where as India Standard Time (IST) is a UTC +5:30 timezone offset. Time difference between Asia/Kolkata and India Standard Time (IST) is 0:0 hours ie., India Standard Time (IST) time is always 0:0 hours ahead of Asia/Kolkata.

Mark as correct and Helpful if my suggestion helped to you. So others will be benefited for same kind of thread and remove this thread to unanswered list of community.
Thanks
Sanjay B.
