Regarding the determination of office time table of the bank companies during the month of Holy Ramadan of Hijri 1446 (2025 AD).
Dear Sir,
The office and transaction time table for all bank companies operating in Bangladesh during the Holy Ramadan of Hijri 1446 (2025 AD) will be as follows:
| Working Days | Office Time Table | Transaction Time Table |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday to Thursday | 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM<br>(Including 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM break for Zuhr prayer) | 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM |
| Friday and Saturday | Weekly Holiday | - |
Although a break from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM has been designated for Zuhr prayer, transaction work will continue uninterrupted through internal coordination in accordance with the norms of the pre-Ramadan period.
After the conclusion of the Holy Ramadan month, the bank's office and transaction time table will return to the pre-Ramadan status.
Yours faithfully,
