About ACST
Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) is UTC+9:30. It is used in Adelaide and Darwin in winter.
Australian Central Standard Time is UTC+9:30, half an hour behind the eastern states rather than a whole hour, which surprises people every time. South Australia moves to daylight saving in October and the Northern Territory does not, so Adelaide and Darwin share this offset for half the year and are an hour apart for the other half.
About NPT
Nepal Time (NPT) is UTC+5:45. It is used in Nepal, all year.
Nepal Time is UTC+5:45 — the only zone in the world offset by three quarters of an hour, set so that noon falls over Kathmandu rather than over the Indian meridian fifteen minutes away. It breaks almost every piece of software that stores offsets in whole or half hours, and it is fifteen minutes ahead of India rather than the round number people assume.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither ACST nor NPT shifts with the seasons, so this 3.75-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
