But, as the State Bank of Pakistan said, banks in Pakistan will be closed for all business on the first day of Ramzan 2024.

Conclusion
Because many people in Pakistan will be fasting and praying during the holy month of Ramadan in 2024, banks will be open for fewer hours.

Remember that these times could change if the State Bank of Pakistan says so.
