Answer:
The Standard Meridian is situated in the centre of all longitudes and latitudes in which India is located. It passes through Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh. The Indian Standard Time is calculated on the basis of 82°30'E longitude. It is west to Mirzapur, near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh. There may be confusion due to time differences. In order to rectify such confusion and time along the meridian, i.e. 82°30'E has been selected as the Standard Time for the entire country
