About EDT
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is UTC−4. It is used in New York, Toronto, Miami and Atlanta from March to November.
Eastern Daylight Time is UTC−4, the summer clock for New York, Toronto, Miami and Atlanta, running from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Those dates are US law and do not match Europe's, which changes on the last Sundays of March and October — so for two weeks in March and one in late October the gap between New York and London is an hour different from its usual five.
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.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on EDT switches to EST (UTC−5) from November to March. So the 10-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
BDT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in BDT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM EDT in BDT?

Is BDT ahead of EDT?
BDT is 10 hours ahead of EDT.
Which time zone does this use?
EDT is UTC−4 and BDT is UTC+6. Both abbreviations denote a single fixed offset, so this conversion never shifts with daylight saving — what changes is which abbreviation a place is using at the time.
