Does daylight saving change PKT to GST?
Pakistan Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+5 offset holds every day of the year.
Gulf Standard Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+4 offset holds every day of the year.
Is PKT ahead of or behind GST?
PKT is ahead of GST by 1 hour: when it is 12:00 pm in Pakistan, it is 11:00 am in Gulf. Neither Pakistan Standard Time nor Gulf Standard Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Pakistan Standard Time covers Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Gulf Standard Time covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat. The identifiers behind them are Asia/Karachi and Asia/Dubai, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
