About UTC
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is UTC+0. It is used in the global time standard, used by aviation, computing and science.
UTC is not a time zone. It is the reference all the others are defined against, and no country runs its civil clocks on it — the places at UTC+0 are on GMT or WET, which are separate things that happen to agree in winter. It never changes for daylight saving, which is exactly why servers, aviation, and every log file you will ever read are timestamped in it. The one irregularity is the leap second, inserted to keep UTC within a second of the Earth's rotation; the practice is due to be abandoned by 2035.
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 UTC nor NPT shifts with the seasons, so this 5.75-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 Etc/UTC 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 UTC in NPT?
9:00 AM UTC is 2:45 PM NPT.
Is NPT ahead of UTC?
NPT is 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC.
Which time zone does this use?
UTC is UTC+0 and NPT is UTC+5:45. 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.
