About time in Karachi

Karachi keeps Pakistan Standard Time, UTC+5 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and Karachi moves only when your own clocks do.

Karachi shares the zone Asia/Karachi with Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, so a time here is also the time there. One canonical page per zone keeps the difference honest: the settlement name changes, the clock does not.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
