Does daylight saving change UTC to NPT?
Coordinated Universal Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+0 offset holds every day of the year.
Nepal Time does not move its clocks at all, so its UTC+5:45 offset holds every day of the year.
Is UTC ahead of or behind NPT?
UTC is behind NPT by 5 hours 45 minutes: when it is 12:00 pm in UTC, it is 5:45 pm in Nepal. Neither Coordinated Universal Time nor Nepal Time observes daylight saving, so the abbreviations never change and the gap between them is fixed.
Coordinated Universal Time covers the reference all other zones are measured against. Nepal Time covers the only national zone on a 45 minute offset. The identifiers behind them are Etc/UTC and Asia/Kathmandu, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
