The Federal Government of Pakistan has released the official office timings for government employees during the holy month of Ramadan 2025. This revised schedule is designed to facilitate fasting employees while ensuring the continuity of essential public services. Adjustments to working hours are made annually to help employees observe their religious duties without compromising productivity.

By reducing work hours, the government acknowledges the physical and spiritual demands of Ramadan, ensuring that employees can fully participate in religious activities such as Taraweeh prayers and Suhoor preparation. This initiative is widely appreciated by government employees and enhances overall workplace morale.

Government’s Initiative for Employee Well-being
The Federal Government has continued its tradition of adjusting working hours during Ramadan to support employees in managing their professional duties while observing fasting. The reduction in office hours allows for greater flexibility, helping employees balance work, religious practices, and family commitments.
Importance of Adjusted Office Timings
Ramadan is a time of devotion and self-discipline, and the revised office schedule allows employees to maintain their work-life balance effectively. The adjusted timings ensure that government offices remain operational while giving employees the necessary time for prayer and rest.
For many government employees, the ability to leave work earlier means they can reach home in time for Iftar, spend time with family, and attend religious gatherings. Shortened working hours also prevent exhaustion and fatigue, which are common due to fasting, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and focus during working hours.
Official Notification and Verification Sources
The official notification detailing Ramadan office hours has been issued by the Government of Pakistan. Employees and the general public can verify the information through:
- Pakistan’s official government website
- The Federal Secretariat’s official press release
For any modifications or updates, individuals are encouraged to refer to these sources to stay informed. Government offices may also display notices about specific regional adjustments, so employees should check with their respective departments for additional clarifications. During Ramadan, federal government offices operate on reduced hours, leading up to the Eid Ul Fitr Holidays when offices remain closed for several days.
By implementing these changes, the government aims to ensure a balance between efficient service delivery and accommodating the religious commitments of employees during Ramadan 2025. These measures reflect the government’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and considerate work environment during this sacred month.
