Why people convert NPT to Pakistan time

Scheduling a call from NPT to Pakistan: a 10:00 AM start in NPT lands at 9:15 AM in Pakistan, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both NPT and Pakistan are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:45 AM and 5:00 PM NPT time (9:00 AM–4:15 PM PKT). That is roughly 7 hours 15 minutes of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: NPT viewers need 8:15 AM in Pakistan to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 12:45 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 -0h 45m gap is not.
Block 9:45 AM–5:00 PM NPT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from NPT and need Pakistan colleagues present.

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 PKT (Pakistan Standard Time)

Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is the time zone used throughout Pakistan. PKT does not observe daylight saving time. Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world.
