Does daylight saving change IST to PHT?
India Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+5:30 offset holds every day of the year.
Philippine Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+8 offset holds every day of the year.
Is IST ahead of or behind PHT?
IST is behind PHT by 2 hours 30 minutes: when it is 12:00 pm in India, it is 2:30 pm in Philippine. Neither India Standard Time nor Philippine Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
India Standard Time covers the whole of India on a single half hour offset. Philippine Time covers Manila, Cebu and Davao. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Kolkata and Asia/Manila, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
