To convert GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) to IST (Indian Standard Time), you need to consider the time difference between the two time zones. IST is UTC+5:30, which means it is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT.
The formula to convert GMT to IST is as follows:
IST = GMT + 5 hours 30 minutes

IST = 12:00 PM + 5 hours 30 minutes = 5:30 PM IST
