They said that stakeholders approached the SRB for giving reasonable time to make compliance the mandatory requirement.

The stakeholders were of the view that due to long holidays on account of Eid ul Adha, very few days were left to comply with the statutory requirement.

It is important to note that the government had announced holidays from July 8, 2022 to July 12, 2022 on account of Eid ul Adha.
