Chicago to India Time Converter

One Hour Longer Than From New York

India never changes its clocks, so the gap depends only on which US zone you start from and whether it is on standard or daylight time.

Chicago is one hour behind New York, so don't reuse a New York gap for a Chicago call. The US changes clocks on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November, and the gap is an hour smaller in between.

Chicago Morning, India Evening

Windows That Work for Both Sides

No time is inside both 9-to-5 days, so each row below gives up part of one person's evening or early morning. The CDT rows are shifted an hour so that the India hours stay the same.

A Working-Day Check From Chicago

Each row below is an hour of the Chicago working day. Where it would be a working hour in India too, it gets a check mark. There are none: Chicago at 9:00 AM is 8:30 PM in India on CST, and when India starts work at 9:00 AM, Chicago is at 9:30 PM the previous day.

Each row is an hour of the Chicago day. A check mark means both cities are inside a 9 AM to 5 PM working day at that moment.
