The archipelago stretches across three time zones: Western Indonesian Time—seven hours in advance of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)--includes Sumatra, Java, and eastern Kalimantan; Central Indonesian Time—eight hours ahead of GMT—includes western Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, and Sulawesi; and Eastern Indonesian Time—nine hours ahead of GMT—includes the Malukus and Papua. The boundary between the western and central time zones—established in 1988—is a line running north between Java and Bali through the center of Kalimantan. The border between central and eastern time zones runs north from the eastern tip of Timor to the eastern tip of Sulawesi. In Indonesia, the keeping of standard time is divided into three time zones:
- Western Indonesian Time/WIT (Indonesian: Waktu Indonesia Barat/WIB) (UTC+7)
- WIB is observed in islands of Sumatra, Java, provinces of West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan
- Central Indonesian Time/CIT (Waktu Indonesia Tengah/WITA) (UTC+8)
- WITA is observed in islands of Sulawesi, Bali, provinces of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan
- Eastern Indonesian Time/EIT (Waktu Indonesia Timur/WIT) (UTC+9).
- WIT is observed in provinces of Maluku, North Maluku, Papua and West Papua.
