DOS Circular Letter No. 18: Hajj activities related scheduled bank branches remain open on 11 October 2025
The Department of Offsite Supervision instructs all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh to keep branches involved in Hajj activities open on Saturday, 11 October 2025, during normal business hours and beyond standard closing times on 12 October 2025 to facilitate the deposit of Hajj funds. This directive, issued under Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991, is in response to a memorandum from the Ministry of Religious Affairs dated 5 October 2025 regarding the registration of Hajj pilgrims for 2026. Banks are required to ensure necessary arrangements for receiving funds for as long as pilgrims remain to deposit their Hajj registration fees.
