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 PST
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC−8. It is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver in winter.
Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8, used by Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver from November to March. As with EST, the abbreviation is written all year in practice — a great deal of software, and most conference invitations from the US west coast, say PST when the sender means PDT. If a time from a US source looks an hour off between March and November, this is almost always why.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on PST switches to PDT (UTC−7) from March to November. So the 13.75-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.
NPT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in NPT 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.
