EPSG:24372 Kalianpur 1880 / India zone IIa

Projected system (Lambert Conic Conformal (1SP)) in use: Asia - India; Pakistan - onshore 21°N to 28°N and west of 82°E. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.

EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
