About BDT

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDT) is UTC+6. It is used in Bangladesh, all year.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 with no daylight saving. It is more often written BST, which is where the trouble starts: BST also means British Summer Time at UTC+1, and the two readings are five hours apart. Converter sites split on which they answer for and rarely say. BDT is the unambiguous way to write it, and worth using in anything that matters.

About HKT

Hong Kong Time (HKT) is UTC+8. It is used in Hong Kong, and matching mainland China and Taiwan.

Hong Kong Time is UTC+8 and has had no daylight saving since 1979. It shares its offset with mainland China, Singapore, Taiwan, Manila and Perth, which makes UTC+8 the most economically dense single offset in the world — roughly a fifth of the planet's population runs on it, and a meeting scheduled in it reaches an unusual amount of Asia at once.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither BDT nor HKT shifts with the seasons, so this 2-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.
