Pakistan Banking Association(PBA) Protest on Bank Timing, Proposal Submitted to SBP

Presently Pakistan Banking Associating (PBA) has taken initiative against late sitting and customer timing being faced by Banking sector in Pakistan, share a proposal with State Bank of Pakistan to reduce the Customer Timing and Business hours of the banks.


Agenda PointsCurrently customer timing (9:00 AM to 5:30 PM) of all banks in Pakistan without any break and Friday timing (9:00 AM to 6:00 PM) with approximately half an hour or 2 hours Juma break


Employees are available round the clock for resolution of ATM related issues without allowance (some of banks are paying nominal amount).

Bank staff has been disturbed due to high business targets and non-scheduled office timing, even staff have to come office on Saturday (Where branches are off) for warping pendency work or preparation of internal / external audit.


Bank staff are unable to manage their personal life due to late sitting and hard timing in the bank. Family life matters are going most worst, annoying because of unavailability of spare time which causes bad effects on our culture, society and living standard etc

Bankers are facing health issues (Sugar, Blood Pressure, Heart Problem, Back aces, Head aces, Eyes and Joint aches), even when you visit in any hospital during or on weekends find a large number of bankers on the bed or sitting in front of doctors for their checkup, treatment. No health activity is being observed and provided by the banks for keeping healthy life which is essential for a human .

Suggestion Points Bank timing should be changed appropriate from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Monday to Thursday) and 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM (Friday).

Strict order issued to the banks to leave their office at maximum 4:00 PM (Monday to Thursday) and 1:30 PM (Friday).

If someone to sit late hours in the office, special approval should be sought out from Senior Management under intimation to State Bank of Pakistan (Monthly Late Sitting Report).


Bank staff visits on holidays for maintenance of ATM, should be given handsome allowance.

Promotion and rewards criteria should be relaxed, handsome compensation to be given to the staff on every year in addition to Performance Bonus and increments. Festival allowance should be given to the bank staff (some of banks are paying).

Well reputed organization introduce motivational and payout schemes for their employees to bring efficiency in the work and as well as for the growth of bank.


Pakistan Banking Association (PBA) is looking forward prolific response from the State Bank of Pakistan and also request with Governor SBP to take necessary steps against our protest point.

  5. Annual increment policy is also not good. There must be minimum of 10% as ratings concept are based on TC of employee and not on performance basis. Medical OPD also not allowed to clerical n Officers level who can afford but given to higher ranked affordable class.

Moody's changes Pakistan banking system outlook to negative

Moody’s Investors Service has changed its outlook for the banking system in Pakistan (B3 negative) to negative from stable. “Over the next 12-18 months, banks in Pakistan will see their credit profiles challenged by their high exposure to the country’s low-rated sovereign debt and a slowing economy,” Constantinos Kypreos, Moody’s Senior Vice President, said in a report released Monday. The banks’ operating conditions will be difficult, with Pakistan’s real GDP growth slowing to 4.3% in the fiscal year ending June 2019, down from 5.8% in 2018, the report said. The Pakistani rupee has depreciated 30% versus the US dollar, interest rates rose by 450 basis points between December 2017 and February 2019, and inflation is rising; all factors which affect business and consumer confidence and the private sector’s debt repayment capacities, Moody’s noted. The agency also pointed out that Pakistan's banks face the risk of macroeconomic contagion through a range of channe...
