Bangalore to London: time difference and meeting times
Everything you need to schedule between Bangalore and London — the current offset, both cities' daylight saving dates, and the hour-by-hour overlap of their working days.
5 hours of full overlap. Both cities are inside normal working hours (09:00–17:59 local) at 08:00–13:00 UTC. Any hour in that range works for both sides without anyone starting early or finishing late.

Daylight saving
Bangalore does not observe daylight saving — this offset is fixed all year. London next moves its clocks back on 25 October 2026, to UTC+0.
This pair is not a whole number of hours apart
The offset between these two cities includes a half-hour component, so a meeting scheduled on the hour in one city always falls on the half hour in the other. Calendar software handles this correctly, but people converting in their heads routinely get it wrong by thirty minutes.
Only one side changes its clocks
London observes daylight saving and Bangalore does not. The difference between these two cities is therefore not constant — it changes twice a year, entirely because of the London side. A recurring meeting fixed to local time in Bangalore will appear to move by an hour in London, and vice versa.
Scheduling across this corridor
Europe and South Asia is one of the more workable long-distance corridors. India runs a few hours ahead of Central Europe, so the Indian afternoon overlaps the European morning cleanly, and a late-morning European call lands comfortably inside the Indian working day. The half-hour offset is the thing that catches people out: India is not a whole number of hours from anywhere in Europe, so a meeting at the top of the hour in London is always at half past in Mumbai.
About Bangalore
Bangalore shares India Standard Time with the rest of the country, five and a half hours ahead of UTC with no daylight saving. As India's largest technology centre it is probably the single most scheduled-against city on the offshore corridors, and the local working day has adapted: late-evening calls with North America are an established norm rather than an imposition.
About London
London is the practical reference point for global scheduling, sitting at UTC in winter and an hour ahead of it in summer. That is precisely why UTC and London time are not the same thing for most of the year, and why "GMT" used loosely between April and October is usually wrong. British Summer Time runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, on the EU schedule rather than the American one.
