The directive, released by the Cabinet Secretariat’s Establishment Division, specifies that offices following a five-day workweek will operate from 9:00am to 3:00pm Monday through Thursday, while Friday hours will be shortened to 9:00am to 12:30pm.
For offices observing a six-day week, working hours from Monday to Thursday and on Saturday will be from 9:00am to 2:00pm. Friday timings for these offices will also be 9:00am to 12:30pm.
