How to convert time from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Pakistan Standard Time (PKT)
Converting between Eastern Standard Time (EST)
and Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from EST cities like New York City, Washington D.C., Miami, Atlanta are 8 hour(s) apart to PKT cities like Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, holiday schedules, and the basic
