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 NZST
New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) is UTC+12. It is used in Auckland and Wellington in the southern winter.
New Zealand Standard Time is UTC+12, the furthest ahead of the commonly used abbreviations, moving to NZDT at UTC+13 from late September to early April. New Zealand is where the date changes first for most of the world's working population, which is why release schedules and financial rollovers are often expressed relative to it. Chatham Islands time, at UTC+12:45, is one of only three quarter-hour offsets in use anywhere.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither NPT nor NZST shifts with the seasons, so this 6.25-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.
