Timezone converter
IST to PKT currently uses India Time in Asia/Kolkata and Pakistan Time in Asia/Karachi as the live reference pair. Right now the gap is -0h 30m, and the sections below break that into meeting-time shortcuts, workday overlap, DST changes, and city coverage on both sides.
Last updated Apr 22, 2026. Offset math, DST behavior, and city coverage on both sides are refreshed from the live timezone dataset during the page revalidation window.
IST is ambiguous in this dataset, so the live converter uses Asia/Kolkata as the busiest reference zone while the city list below shows the wider label family.

Based on the busiest city and zone usage found in the current dataset.
IST and PKT currently connect Mumbai and Lahore with a live gap of -0h 30m. Representative coverage on the IST side is anchored by Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, while the PKT side is anchored by Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and Faisalabad.
Using a simple 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM workday on both sides, the pair shares about 7.5 hours of business overlap - roughly IST 9:30 AM previous day to 5:00 PM previous day, which is PKT 9:00 AM previous day to 4:30 PM previous day. Most of the workday still lines up, which is helpful for live support, same-day reviews, and straightforward calendar invites.
The live gap is -0h 30m right now, based on Asia/Kolkata at +05:30 and Asia/Karachi at +05:00. Neither reference zone shows an offset change in the next year, so the gap should stay stable.
On the IST side, the current dataset is anchored by cities such as Mumbai, India; Delhi, India; Bengaluru, India; Hyderabad, India; Ahmedabad, India; Chennai, India. That makes this page useful for real-world coordination patterns rather than only abstract offset math.
On the PKT side, the live reference set includes Lahore, Pakistan; Karachi, Pakistan; Peshawar, Pakistan; Faisalabad, Pakistan; Rawalpindi, Pakistan; Gujranwala, Pakistan. In practice, that means the conversion is tied to recognizable business, travel, and support hubs rather than a single anonymous timezone label.
Country usage on the two sides currently includes India, Israel, and Sri Lanka for IST and Pakistan for PKT. That country coverage helps explain why some pairs feel like outsourcing, logistics, gaming, finance, or travel-heavy conversions while others are more niche.
