- •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.
NST – Newfoundland Standard Time
UTC-03:30Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is a unique half-hour offset time zone in Canada, 3.5 hours behind UTC.
- •NST is one of only a few half-hour offset time zones in the world.
- •Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 and kept its unique time zone.
- •St. John's is the easternmost city in North America.
Everything You Need to Know About NPT and NST Time
NPT runs on Nepal Time (NPT) at UTC+05:45. NST runs on Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) at UTC-03:30. That puts NPT 9 hours 15 minutes behind NST — a difference of -9h 15m at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in NPT it is 11:45 PM in NST on the previous day. Midnight in NPT is 2:45 PM in NST. Neither zone observes daylight saving time, so the offset between them stays constant all year.

Why people convert NPT to NST time
- Scheduling a call from NPT to NST: a 10:00 AM start in NPT lands at 12:45 AM in NST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -9h 15m gap: NPT and NST have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in NST is 11:45 PM in NPT.
- Watching a live event or market open: NPT viewers need 11:45 PM in NST to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 9:15 AM if the event is anchored to NPT.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NPT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -9h 15m gap is not.
- With a -9h 15m gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week NPT takes the early slot, the next week NST does.
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).
About NST (Newfoundland Standard Time)
Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is one of the few half-hour offset time zones in the world. It covers the island of Newfoundland in Canada and is 30 minutes ahead of Atlantic Standard Time. This unique offset exists because Newfoundland was an independent country until 1949.
Best time to call between NPT and NST
With a -9h 15m offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. NST opens at 9:00 AM NST, which is 11:45 PM in NPT, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.
Business hours overlap
NPT and NST have no shared working hours because of the -9h 15m gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.
NPT is 9 hours 15 minutes behind NST (NPT UTC+05:45 → NST UTC-03:30). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
