Time in Rawalpindi, Pakistan

Time zone: PKT (UTC/GMT +05:00) — Asia/Karachi

Rawalpindi keeps PKT (5 hours ahead of UTC, UTC+05:00). Its database zone is Asia/Karachi — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.

Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+05:00 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Rawalpindi.

Around 1,743,101 people live in Rawalpindi, making it the 3rd largest of the 68 Pakistan cities covered here.

Current gap between Rawalpindi and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

Same zone, same time — each of these sits on Asia/Karachi alongside Rawalpindi, including through any clock change.
