The Department of Offshore Supervision directs all scheduled banks in Bangladesh to close all branches and sub-branches on Thursday, 3 April 2025, in observance of the government-declared holiday for Eid-ul-Fitr. For the preceding days of 28 and 29 March 2025, banks must operate with limited staff and restricted services during specified hours to support the garment export industry and worker salary payments. Additionally, banks located in port and customs areas may maintain limited import-export operations from 28 March to 5 April 2025, excluding the Eid holiday, in coordination with local authorities. Staff working on the holiday are entitled to allowances as per regulations.
