Shaded rows are working hours; the darker shade marks the hours when both zones are at work.

What ET and NPT Actually Are

ET — Eastern Time

New York, Toronto, Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami, Boston. Standing at UTC-5:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to EST.

Eastern Time covers roughly half the US population and, because of that, is the zone most American business defaults to when nobody specifies one.

NPT — Nepal Time

Kathmandu, Pokhara. Standing at UTC+5:45 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year. Nepal sits at UTC+5:45 — one of only two zones in the world on a 45-minute offset.

Nepal is deliberately 15 minutes ahead of India, an offset chosen so the country keeps its own time rather than sharing its neighbor's.

What This Means in Practice

Expect times on the half hour

NPT sits on a 45-minute offset rather than a whole hour, so a round number on one side is never a round number on the other. A 9:00 meeting becomes 45 minutes past the hour, which is exactly the detail calendar invitations get wrong when someone converts in their head.

The date changes mid-working-day

For 2 of the eight hours in a normal ET working day, the equivalent NPT time falls on a different calendar date. Anything scheduled in that stretch needs the date checked as well as the time, or a Tuesday call quietly becomes a Wednesday one at the other end.

This gap is not fixed

ET changes its clocks and NPT does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, November 1, 2026 unless someone resets it.
