Time difference between Karachi and Auckland

Auckland is 8 hours ahead of Karachi

Karachi, Pakistan is UTC+5 · Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Karachi does not change its clocks and Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April.

Karachi stays put all year while Auckland moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Auckland's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Karachi's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Karachi and nine-to-five in Auckland do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
