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.
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?
Neither NPT nor BDT shifts with the seasons, so this 0.25-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.
