Bangladesh Bank (BB) has set the banking transaction time from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm and the banking office time from 9:30 am to 4:0 pm during the holy month of Ramadan.

The central bank issued a circular in this regard on Wednesday.

The circular stated that all scheduled banks operating in the country will be open from 9:30 am to 4 pm during the holy month of Ramadan. And there will be a break for Zohar prayer from 1:15 pm to 1:30 pm.

However, banking transactions can be continued during this break through internal coordination, said the circular.

Banking transactions are normally conducted from 10 am to 4 pm. Bank office hours are from 10 am to 6 pm.

The circular said that the schedule will revert to its original status after the holy month of Ramadan.
