Pakistan’s federal government offices and banks follow separate Ramadan 2026 schedules. Federal office hours vary by whether the office works a five-day or six-day week; bank staff hours also differ from customer public-dealing hours. Both official schedules were issued on February 18, 2026.
Federal government office timings during Ramadan 2026
The Establishment Division’s February 18, 2026 notification sets these hours for federal government offices in Pakistan. The schedule depends on the office’s working week.
| Federal office schedule | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Five-day week | Monday–Thursday | 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. |
| Five-day week | Friday | 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. |
| Six-day week | Monday–Thursday and Saturday | 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. |
| Six-day week | Friday | 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. |
Friday hours are shorter under both federal schedules. The notification applies to federal government offices; it does not establish hours for every provincial department or local office. Check the relevant institution’s own notice if you need to visit a specific office. Establishment Division notification, February 18, 2026
Bank timings during Ramadan 2026
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) circular covers banks, development finance institutions (DFIs) and microfinance banks (MFBs). It separates staff office hours from hours when customers can conduct business.
| Banking schedule | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Staff office hours (banks, DFIs and MFBs) | Monday–Thursday | 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., without break |
| Staff office hours (banks, DFIs and MFBs) | Friday | 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., without break |
| Public dealing (banks and MFBs) | Monday–Thursday | 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., without break |
| Public dealing (banks and MFBs) | Friday | 9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m., without break |
For a customer visit, use the public-dealing hours rather than staff office hours. SBP says these Ramadan timings automatically revert to pre-Ramadan timings after Ramadan. The circular does not enumerate individual branches or local exceptions, so confirm with your branch before travelling. SBP BPRD Circular Letter No. 05, February 18, 2026

SBP separately declared the first day of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak 1447 AH a bank holiday for public dealing for Zakat deduction. Bank, DFI and MFB employees were still to attend work as on a normal working day, except for public dealing; the notice does not say that all bank work stops.
