Time difference
Pakistan uses one nationwide time zone — Pakistan Standard Time (PKT), at UTC+5. Pakistan does not observe daylight saving time, so its clocks are fixed all year; only the UK's own clock changes affect the gap between the two countries.
Pakistan is 4 hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time, and 5 hours ahead of the UK during GMT (winter).

Best time to call
Late morning UK time, roughly 9am-12pm, usually matches early-to-mid afternoon in Pakistan, which tends to work well for calls between a UK morning and a Pakistani working afternoon.
Daylight saving notes
Pakistan does not run daylight saving time and has kept a steady UTC+5 offset for many years. The UK-Pakistan gap therefore only moves because the UK switches between GMT and BST on the last Sundays of March and October — Pakistan's own clocks never change.
Frequently asked questions

Pakistan is 4 hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time, and 5 hours ahead during GMT (UK winter time), because Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) stays fixed all year.

When it is 9am in the UK, it is normally 1pm in Pakistan during British Summer Time, or 2pm during GMT, since Pakistan is 4 to 5 hours ahead.
