IST

UTC

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a standard time reference used globally, and it is often used as a basis for synchronizing clocks and timekeeping systems. UTC is based on the international atomic time scale and is calculated by taking into account the rotation of the Earth, so it is a highly accurate and reliable standard for timekeeping.
