How Seychelles keeps its time

Set by longitude
60° Ethe meridian Seychelles law set its time by
The Standard Time Ordinance declared a standard time for Seychelles. It chose the mean time of 60 degrees east of Greenwich. That meridian lies east of Mahé. The country still keeps that time, UTC+4.
Source Laws of Seychelles via Google Books, Standard Time Ordinance
No clock changes
0clock changes a year
Seychelles does not change its clocks, and the time zone database records no daylight saving there. The gap with Europe still moves twice a year, because Europe changes its clocks.
Source IANA time zone database, backzone file
No letter code
UTC+4what this site shows instead of a code
Some websites print SCT for Seychelles time. The time zone database once used that code, then withdrew it as invented. So this site shows the offset alone.

Questions about time in Seychelles

What time is it now in Seychelles?

The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Seychelles, live, with seconds. The whole country keeps one time, UTC+4. Victoria on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue all show the same time. The clocks do not change during the year.

Does Seychelles have daylight saving time?

No. Seychelles stays on UTC+4 all year, and the time zone database records no daylight saving there. The Standard Time Ordinance set its time by the meridian 60 degrees east of Greenwich. Its gap with Europe still shifts twice a year, because Europe changes its clocks.

What is the Indian/Mahe time zone?

Indian/Mahe is the time zone database's name for Seychelles, and Mahé is its main island. The database now points that name to a zone Seychelles shares with the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Réunion. Their clocks have matched for decades. So Indian/Mahe still gives Seychelles time, UTC+4.

What is the time difference between Seychelles and India?

India is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of Seychelles all year, because neither country changes its clocks. The gap does not move with the seasons. So a call time agreed once between Victoria and Mumbai or Delhi holds in every month of the year.

What is the time difference between Seychelles and Europe?

Berlin and Paris are 3 hours behind Seychelles in the European winter and two hours behind in summer. London is 4 hours behind Seychelles in winter and three hours behind in summer. Seychelles does not change its clocks, so the gap moves only when Europe changes.
