Pakistan operates on Pakistan Standard Time
Pakistan Standard time

Time Zone of Pakistan :
Pakistan operates on Pakistan Standard Time (PST), which is 5 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+5). The country does not observe daylight saving time, maintaining a consistent time zone throughout the year. This fixed time zone helps in aligning the nation's daily activities and schedules without seasonal adjustments, unlike many other countries.
Geographically, Pakistan is located between 60° to 77° east longitude, placing it in a time zone that aligns well with other neighboring countries such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, which also observe UTC+5. However, Pakistan's time zone differs from its immediate neighbors, as India follows IST (UTC+5:30), and Afghanistan uses AFT (UTC+4:30), leading to slight variations in regional timekeeping.
PST plays a crucial role in synchronizing business operations, particularly with countries in Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, which operate in different time zones. In the era of globalization, this standard time facilitates cross-border communications, international travel, and trade. Additionally, Pakistan's major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad strictly follow PST, ensuring national coherence. For many global organizations and businesses operating in Pakistan, understanding and adapting to PST is essential for smooth interactions.
