As per clause 13.5.1 of IS 456:2000.

OPC = 7 days.

If mineral admixture or blended cement are used = 10 days.
If the concrete is exposed to dry and hot weather conditions, OPC = 10 days.
If concrete exposed to dry and hot weather conditions and mineral admixture or blended cement are used = 14 days.
