What is Pakistan Standard Time?
PKT is the [[time zone]] used in Pakistan. It is 5 hours ahead of [[GMT]]/[[UTC]]. [[File:Standard time zones of the world.png|thumb|400px|Standard Time Zones of the World.]] == Daylight Saving Time == In [[2002]], the government of Pakistan decided to use the [[Daylight Saving Time]] system. This meant that every year, clocks would be put forward by one hour on the night between the first Saturday and Sunday of April until [[15 October]] when the clocks were put back. The experiment was not repeated again under the Musharraf Regime. This was reused in 2008 by [[Raja Pervez Ashraf|Raja Parvez Ashraf]] from 1 June 2008 to 31 October 2008 and again in 2009 from 15 April 2009 to 31 October 2009.<ref>[http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/pakistan-extends-dst-2008.html Pakistan returns to DayLight Saving time again]</ref> The system has not been used since.<ref>[http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/pakistan-dst-start-2010.html No More DayLight Saving time now]</ref> == References == {{Reflist}} * [http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/asia/pakistan/index.htm Pakistan Standard Time] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224090018/http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/asia/pakistan/index.htm |date=2008-02-24 }} == Other websites == * [http://www.timegenie.com/utc.time/UTC+5 Find cities currently in UTC+5] [[Category:Time zones]]
