About MSK
Moscow Time (MSK) is UTC+3. It is used in Moscow and western Russia, with no daylight saving.
Moscow Time is UTC+3 and is fixed year-round: Russia abolished daylight saving in 2014 after a brief and unpopular experiment with permanent summer time. That makes Moscow's relationship with Europe seasonal from Europe's side only — the gap to Berlin is two hours in winter and one in summer, and nothing in Moscow moves to cause it.
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 MSK nor NPT shifts with the seasons, so this 2.75-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.
