In Asia eleven different time zones are used. These time zones span from UTC (GMT) +4 to UTC (GMT) +10. Several countries offset their
local time in increments other than a full hour. As an example, India is 5 and 1/2 hours ahead of UTC (GMT) time represented as UTC (GMT) +5.5. The Asian country of Nepal is five hours and forty-five minutes ahead of
UTC (GMT) time, represented as UTC (GMT) + 5.75.
Most countries in Asia do not use Daylight Saving Time. Countries that do use Daylight Saving Time are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Mongolia and Russia. Other counties
observing daylight saving time, which are in the middle east but sometimes referred to as being is Asia, include Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian regions and Syria.
