Chagos is part of the British Indian Ocean Territories, an overseas territory of the UK, while Rangali Island is part of the Maldives, a sovereign nation. The fact that they happen to have the same GMT offset now is no guarantee they always did. Chagos changed from GMT+5 to GMT+6 in 1995. Given that they are from separately administered regions, I thought the policy was they should be separate time zones? Thanks, Debbie

At the moment, users need to find a time zone that has the same GMT offset (in this case Indian/Chagos works) and use that instead.
That should be good enough, no? I assume they've had the same time zone as Indian/Chagos since whenever.
