Ramadan is a month of blessings, peace, and spiritual reflection for Muslims around. During this month, Muslims practise kindness and worship while fasting from sunrise to sunset. State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), one of the biggest banks in Pakistan, has always gone above and beyond to help its customers during the fasting month of Ramadan. On this page, you’ll find a detailed calendar, dates, and timetable for SBP Ramadan in Pakistan in 2023.
Ramadan Banking Schedule by State Bank of Pakistan

Banking hours vary during the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan has returned once more, and the SBP has made available the most recent Ramazan bank timing schedule. This schedule will be followed by all scheduled Pakistani banks.
