The SBP said banks have also been advised to keep relevant branches open beyond normal hours if needed to support the special clearing of government transactions through the National Institutional Facilitation Technologies (NIFT).
In addition, banks are required to ensure uninterrupted access to online payment channels, including internet banking, mobile applications, ATMs, and other digital platforms, to enable taxpayers to complete government payments digitally.
