Hare Krsna,
Actual times for Ekadasi fasting are complicated and vary from country to country.
Devotees should consult the appropriate authorities, check vaishnav calendars etc to be sure.
Nevertheless, bhaktas of iskcon recommend that one should not take meals after 12 pm mainly
to make sure there is no undigested food left in the stomach on ekadasi day.

Hari Bol,
Please, if can answer to my questions will be very much appreciated.
Once again, thanks for taking trouble for me.
HareKrishna.
