About PKT
Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.
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 PKT nor NPT shifts with the seasons, so this 0.75-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.
