Dear Sir,
With reference to the determination of the office time table during the Holy Ramadan month of Hijri 1440 (2019 AD), the office and transaction time table for all bank companies operating in Bangladesh during the Holy Ramadan month of Hijri 1440 (2019 AD) will be as follows:
Working Days | Office Time Table | Transaction Time Table --- | --- | --- Sunday to Thursday | 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (including a break for Zuhr prayer from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM) Friday and Saturday | Weekly Holiday | 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM
Although a break from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM has been designated for Zuhr prayer, transactions will continue through internal coordination in accordance with the regulations similar to the pre-Ramadan period.
After the Holy Ramadan month is over, the office and transaction time table of the banks will revert to the pre-Ramadan schedule.
Please acknowledge receipt.
Yours faithfully,
