When converting from PKT to PST, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM PKT equals 8:00 PM PST, 12:00 PM noon PKT equals 11:00 PM PST, and 5:00 PM PKT equals 4:00 AM PST. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across PKT and PST

For professionals scheduling meetings between PKT and PST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 13 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

PKT does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+5 year-round. PST observes DST, switching to PDT (UTC-7). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
