Key Facts about NPT

•Nepal Time is UTC+05:45 — a 45-minute offset, not a whole or half hour.
•The 45-minute offset was adopted in 1986 to match Kathmandu's solar time.
•Nepal does not observe daylight saving time.
•Nepal is 15 minutes ahead of India, despite sharing a long open border.

Understanding the +2h 15m Gap: Iran vs NPT

Iran runs on Iran Standard Time (IRST) at UTC+03:30. NPT runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. That puts Iran 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of NPT — a difference of +2h 15m at the current offsets.

In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Iran it is 11:15 AM in NPT. Midnight in Iran is 2:15 AM in NPT. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert Iran to NPT time

Scheduling a call from Iran to NPT: a 10:00 AM start in Iran lands at 12:15 PM in NPT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Iran and NPT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:45 PM IRST time (11:15 AM–5:00 PM NPT). That is roughly 5 hours 45 minutes of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Iran-based team with NPT contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM IRST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h 15m gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–2:45 PM IRST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Iran and need NPT colleagues present.

About IRST (Iran Standard Time)

Iran Standard Time (IRST) is one of the few time zones with a 30-minute offset. Iran observes daylight saving time (IRDT, UTC+04:30) from late March to late September. Tehran, the capital, is one of the largest cities in the Middle East.

About NPT (Nepal Time)

Nepal Time (NPT) runs at UTC+05:45, one of only a handful of time zones worldwide that are not a whole or half hour from UTC. Nepal set its offset to 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of UTC in 1986 to mark the country's position between the 75°E and 90°E meridians; Kathmandu's solar time sits just over 5 hours 41 minutes ahead of Greenwich, so the 45-minute offset tracks the sun more closely than either 5:30 or 6:00 would. Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so NPT is fixed all year. The offset makes Nepal 15 minutes ahead of India Standard Time (UTC+05:30) and 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Dubai (UTC+04:00).

Best time to call between Iran and NPT

Both Iran and NPT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:45 PM IRST, which is 11:15 AM–5:00 PM NPT. That gives roughly 5 hours and 45 minutes of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.

Business hours overlap

Iran and NPT share 5 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–2:45 PM IRST), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.

Iran is 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of NPT (IRST UTC+03:30 → NPT UTC+05:45). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–2:45 PM IRST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
