Complete Time Zone Guide for Pakistan
SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and cities across Pakistan. Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5) is maintained year-round, though the country occasionally implements daylight saving during energy crises.
Time Zone History
Pakistan adopted UTC+5 at independence in 1947, differentiating from India's UTC+5:30. The country has irregularly implemented daylight saving time, most recently from 2008-2009 during an energy crisis. These implementations have been unpopular and abandoned, though they remain a tool during power shortages. The time zone reflects Pakistan's position between Middle Eastern and South Asian regions.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Pakistani daily life blends Islamic traditions with South Asian customs. The five daily prayer times structure schedules, with Friday being the primary day of worship. The workday typically runs 9 AM-5 PM, though government offices often close early on Fridays. Evening social life thrives from 7 PM onwards, with late dinners common. Ramadan dramatically shifts all schedules, with business hours adjusted and nighttime activities extended.
