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 BRT
Brasília Time (BRT) is UTC−3. It is used in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and most of populated Brazil.
Brasília Time is UTC−3, covering São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so the offset is now fixed year-round — but a great deal of older software, and a lot of published advice, still assumes the southern-hemisphere shift that used to run from October to February. If a Brazilian meeting time was correct last year and is an hour out now, an out-of-date time zone database is the likely cause.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither NPT nor BRT shifts with the seasons, so this 8.75-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.
Frequently asked questions
What time is 9:00 AM NPT in BRT?
9:00 AM NPT is 12:15 AM BRT.
Is BRT ahead of NPT?
BRT is 8 hours 45 minutes behind NPT.
Which time zone does this use?
NPT is UTC+5:45 and BRT is UTC−3. 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.
