In February 2026, the State Bank of Pakistan announced revised working hours for banks during the holy month of Ramadan. According to Daily Qudrat, these adjusted hours will apply to both public and private banks across the country, aiming to accommodate the fasting schedule of the majority Muslim population. The article highlights that the reduced hours are designed to ensure that banking services remain accessible while respecting religious practices. This change reflects a broader trend of adjusting public services during Ramadan to align with the cultural and religious needs of the community.
