Why people convert Turkey to BDST time
- Scheduling a call from Turkey to BDST: a 10:00 AM start in Turkey lands at 1:00 PM in BDST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both Turkey and BDST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM TRT time (12:00 PM–5:00 PM BDST). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking BDST local time against Turkey keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +3h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM TRT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–2:00 PM TRT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Turkey and need BDST colleagues present.
About TRT (Turkey Time)
Turkey Time (TRT) is fixed at UTC+03:00 all year. Turkey abolished seasonal clock changes in September 2016, moving to a permanent UTC+03:00 so the whole country stays on what was formerly summer time. That leaves Istanbul, which sits close to 29°E, on an offset well ahead of its solar time — sunrise in mid-winter comes after 08:30 local. TRT shares its offset with Moscow Standard Time, Arabia Standard Time and East Africa Time, so Istanbul is level with Moscow and Riyadh all year and one hour ahead of Central European Time during the European winter.
About BDST (Bangladesh Standard Time)
Bangladesh Standard Time (BDST) is the single time zone used across Bangladesh, fixed at UTC+06:00 all year. Bangladesh has not observed daylight saving time since a short-lived experiment in 2009, so the gap between Bangladesh and every other zone is constant. Dhaka, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Because the country sits close to the middle of the UTC+06:00 band, solar noon is near 12:00 for most of the year. BDST is listed separately from British Summer Time, which shares the BST abbreviation but is UTC+01:00.
Best time to call between Turkey and BDST
Both Turkey and BDST sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:00 PM TRT, which is 12:00 PM–5:00 PM BDST. That gives roughly 5 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
