In 2009, the chronometers through the nation were superior by one hour on April 15, 2009. A assertion by the Ministry of Interior said the Pakistan Time (PKT) was superior by one hour to make full use of daylight. It said the chronometers would be undone over by an hour on October 31, 2009. Last year, the government had turned the chronometers ahead on June 1 to avail an surplus hour of daylight for keeping looked after vitality to encompass the power shortfall. In 2002, the government cabinet resolved that "in rank to make largest use of daylight and to save energy", they would take on the daylight collecting time (DST) system. This demanded the nation to move frontwards the time by one hour on the after dark between the first Saturday and Sunday of April, and revert to the primary location on the first Sunday in October of 2002 at 00:00. The Government of Pakistan resolved to use DST over from June 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008[3].

In 2009, the clocks across the country were advanced by one hour on April 15, 2009. A statement by the Ministry of Interior said the Pakistan Time (PKT) was advanced by one hour to make full use of daylight. It said the clocks would be reversed again by an hour on October 31, 2009. Last year, the government had turned the clocks ahead on June 1 to avail an extra hour of daylight for conserving energy to contain the power shortfall. In 2002, the government cabinet decided that "in order to make maximum use of daylight and to save energy", they would adopt the daylight saving time (DST) system. This required the country to advance the time by one hour on the night between the first Saturday and Sunday of April, and revert to the original position on the first Sunday in October of 2002 at 00:00. The Government of Pakistan decided to use DST again from June 1, 2008 to October 31, 2008[3]. DST was originally meant to end on August 31, 2008 but the end date was changed by the Government to be October 31, 2008.
