Does daylight saving change PKT to GMT?
Pakistan Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+5 offset holds every day of the year.
Greenwich Mean Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+0 offset holds every day of the year.
Is PKT ahead of or behind GMT?
PKT is ahead of GMT by 5 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Pakistan, it is 7:00 am in GMT. Neither Pakistan Standard Time nor Greenwich Mean Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Pakistan Standard Time covers Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Greenwich Mean Time covers identical to UTC as a clock reading, and a separate thing as a standard. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Karachi and Etc/GMT, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
