Bangladesh Standard Time (BST)

Bangladesh Standard Time (BST) keeps the entire country on a steady UTC+06:00, so there’s no daylight saving switch—Dhaka and every other location on this code stay in sync all year. That makes planning, travel, and cross-border work with Asia straightforward, with no hidden clock changes.
