- Calcutta time was one of the two time zones established in British India in 1884. It was established during the International Meridian Conference held at Washington, D.C. in the United States. It was decided that India had two time zones: Calcutta (now Kolkata) would use the 90th meridian east and Bombay (now Mumbai) the 75th meridian east. It was determined as 5 hours, 53 minutes and 20 seconds ahead of Greenwich Mean Time(UTC+5:53:20). Calcutta time was described as being 23 minutes and 20 second ahead of Indian standard time and one hour, two minutes and 20 seconds ahead of Bombay Time. It has also been described as 32 minutes and 6 seconds ahead of Madras Time (UTC+5:21:14). Even when Indian Standard Time (IST) was adopted on 1 January 1906, Calcutta Time remained in effect until 1948 when it was abandoned in favour of IST. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Calcutta time was the dominant time of the Indian part of the British empire with records of astronomical and geological events recorded in it. Willian Strachey, an uncle of Lytton Strachey was said to have visited Calcutta once and then "kept his own watch set resolutely to Calcutta time, organizing the remaining fifty-six years of his life accordingly". James Clavell, in his novel King Rat, refers to news broadcasts as occurring in "Calcutta time". (en)

- L'ora di Calcutta era un fuso orario esistito in India, tra 1884 e 1948. Corrispondeva all' di Calcutta (attualmente Kolkata), in anticipo di 5 ore, 30 minuti e 21 secondi rispetto al GMT. Il fuso orario fu creato alla Conferenza internazionale dei meridiani nel 1884, quando si decise di dividere l'India in due fusi orari: la parte ovest con l'ora di Bombay (attualmente Mumbai) e quella est con l'ora di Calcutta. L'India adottò un fuso orario unico (l', a GMT+5:30) il 1º gennaio 1906. L'ora di Calcutta continuò tuttavia a essere utilizzata nella regione fino al 1948. (it)
