The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) will remain closed on Saturday, September 6, 2025, in observance of Eid Milad-un-Nabi, marking the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
In an official notice, the SBP stated that the closure corresponds to 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal, 1447 A.H., in the Islamic lunar calendar.
The federal government had earlier declared September 6 a public holiday, while the Sindh government announced two holidays, September 5 and 6, for the occasion.
Last week, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirmed that the lunar crescent for Rabi-ul-Awwal was not sighted, setting the 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal as Saturday, September 6.
