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 PKT
Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.
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 9-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.
PKT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in PKT 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 PKT?
9:00 AM EDT is 6:00 PM PKT.
Is PKT ahead of EDT?
PKT is 9 hours ahead of EDT.
Which time zone does this use?
EDT is UTC−4 and PKT is UTC+5. 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.
