Pakistan has experimented with daylight saving time in the past, but it is not in regular use now, which makes scheduling more predictable for businesses, schools, transport planning, and cross-border communication. Because there is no DST in Chishtian, the time difference with cities in Europe, North America, and Australia changes when those countries switch their clocks.
