When the difference changes

Australian Eastern Time and Pakistan Standard Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – October 4, 2026Pakistan Standard Time is 5 hours behind
  2. October 4, 2026 – April 4, 2027Pakistan Standard Time is 6 hours behind
  3. April 4, 2027 – October 3, 2027Pakistan Standard Time is 5 hours behind
  4. October 3, 2027 – onwardsPakistan Standard Time is 6 hours behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Australian Eastern Time

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AEDT after that.

Pakistan Standard Time

No clock changes

Pakistan Standard Time stays on PKT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm AEST, which is 9:00 am to 1:00 pm PKT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Australian Eastern Time (AEST) is used in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Queensland stays on AEST all year while the southern states move to AEDT.
