Pakistan's federal public holidays are declared by Cabinet Division notification each year and total about ten to thirteen days. The standing list includes Kashmir Solidarity Day on 5 February, Pakistan Day on 23 March commemorating the 1940 Lahore Resolution, Labour Day on 1 May, Independence Day on 14 August marking the 1947 partition independence, Iqbal Day on 9 November honouring the national poet-philosopher (status varying by federal notification), Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas on 25 December marking the birthday of founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah, plus Islamic holidays by lunar calendar: Eid Milad un-Nabi (Prophet's birthday), Eid al-Fitr (three days), Eid al-Adha (three days) and Ashura (10 Muharram). Provincial governments may add their own holidays under provincial notifications.
Pakistan's labour framework under the Factories Act 1934 (now provincially adopted) sets the standard week at 48 hours over six days. The federal and provincial government weeks run Monday to Friday at 8 to 9 hours, with banking following the same pattern; private retail and manufacturing commonly operate Monday to Saturday. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day. The Code of Civil Procedure 1908 section 4 and the General Clauses Act 1897 roll statutory deadlines falling on a Sunday or notified public holiday to the next working day. Settlement of rupee transactions runs on the State Bank of Pakistan's RTGS PRISM, which observes the Cabinet-notified holidays.
For people planning cross-border meetings, the practical move is to overlay Pakistan's calendar with the calendars of the other countries on your team. A week that looks completely clear from your end might be a national holiday on theirs. The compare tool above pairs two country calendars and highlights the overlapping closures, so you can spot the weeks where almost no one is at their desk before you put a launch on the board.
