About the time in Kolkata
The zone identifier Asia/Kolkata is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Kolkata keeps pointing at Kolkata time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:15 and sunset at 06:04 local time, giving 12h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.56, 88.36) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kolkata.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kolkata day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
