About GST and PKT
GST (Gulf Standard Time) covers UAE and Oman and is anchored to the IANA zone Asia/Dubai. It does not observe daylight saving time — the offset stays fixed all year.
PKT (Pakistan Standard Time) covers Pakistan via Asia/Karachi. It does not observe daylight saving time.
Neither GST nor PKT observes DST, so the offset between them is constant year-round at 1 hour.
