Indonesia is divided with 3 time zone, it’s a WIB stand for “Waktu Indonesia Bagian Barat” or West Indonesia time zone, WITA stand for “Waktu Indonesia Tengah” or Middle Indonesia time zone and last is WIT stand for “Waktu Indonesia Timur”  or East Indonesia time zone. 

Based on GMT, WIB is GMT +7 and WITA is GMT+8 meanwhile WIT is GMT +9, so if you ask “What Time is it in Indonesia”. You can calculate by using GMT as a reference.
