According to the circular, the holiday calendar is dominated by major religious festivals and national commemorations.
The first holiday of the year will be 4 February – Shab-e-Barat. Later that month, banks will remain closed for 21 February – Shaheed Day and International Mother Language Day.
The longest breaks are centered around the two major Eids. For Eid-ul-Fitr, a five-day closure is scheduled from 19 March to 23 March, covering Juma-tul-Bida (the day before Eid), the day of Eid, and the two subsequent days. Two of these days coincide with the regular weekend holiday.
For Eid-ul-Adha, banks will be closed for five days, from 26 May to 31 May, a period that also includes two weekend holidays.
The central bank specified that the holiday schedule is effective for all scheduled banks and is based on a gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Public Administration on 9 November of this year.
