FAQ
What time is it in Bengaluru right now?
The live clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Bengaluru, refreshed every second. Bengaluru is on UTC+5:30 year-round, and the clock is calculated directly from that official time zone so it always accounts for daylight saving time automatically.
What time zone is Bengaluru in?
Bengaluru stays on UTC+5:30 all year and does not change its clocks for daylight saving time. The "compare to your time zone" section above converts any Bengaluru time into your own local time instantly.

To call Bengaluru from abroad, dial the country code +91 before the local number. The card at the top of this page shows it alongside the live local time so you can check it is a reasonable hour before you call.
What are the best hours to call Bengaluru?
The "best time to call" line above detects your own time zone and shows the window when normal waking hours (roughly 8am–9pm) overlap in both places, so neither side is woken up. It updates live, so it already accounts for daylight saving on both ends.
