Dear Sir,
With reference to the determination of office and transaction timings during the holy month of Ramadan 1437 AH (2016 AD), the office and transaction timings for all bank companies operating in Bangladesh during the holy month of Ramadan 1437 AH (2016 AD) are as follows:
| Working Days | Office Timetable | Transaction Timetable |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday to Thursday | 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM<br>(Break for Zuhr prayer from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM) | 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM |
| Friday and Saturday | Weekly Holiday | Weekly Holiday |
Although a break for Zuhr prayer has been designated from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM, transaction work will remain continuous through internal coordination, similar to the pre-Ramadan period.
It is noted that after the holy month of Ramadan concludes, the bank's office and transaction timetable will return to the pre-Ramadan schedule.
Yours faithfully,
Signed:
(Md. Ibrahim Bhuiyan)
Deputy General Manager
