Nepal Investment Mega Bank Limited (NIMB) has officially released its Dashain counter schedule for the year 2082 B.S., ensuring that its customers have access to essential banking services during the nation’s biggest and longest festival.
NIMB Dashain Counter Schedule
Recognizing that financial needs do not pause during festivals, the bank has arranged for select branches, both inside and outside the Kathmandu Valley, to remain open with adjusted hours. This proactive step underscores NIMB’s commitment to customer convenience and its role in supporting the financial needs of the public during a period of heightened spending and travel. This carefully planned schedule allows customers to manage their finances, from cash withdrawals to deposits, without disruption, which is crucial for a festival like Dashain.
Kathmandu Valley and Outside Valley Schedules
The bank has issued separate schedules for its branches to cater to the different needs and locations of its customers.
Inside Kathmandu Valley: Select branches in the capital region, including key locations like Durbarmarg, New Road, Pulchowk, Kalimati, and Koteshwor, will operate with adjusted hours from Ashwin 13 to Ashwin 17, 2082. The timings vary by branch to provide flexibility, with most branches operating for a few hours in the morning or early afternoon. For example, some branches will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., while others may be open from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. or even from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This varied schedule ensures that customers traveling within the Valley can find a convenient banking option.
Outside Kathmandu Valley: For customers in districts and major cities across the country, NIMB has also planned a comprehensive schedule. Branches in key locations such as Biratnagar, Pokhara, Butwal, Nepalgunj, Hetauda, Chitwan, and Dharan will generally operate from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. during the specified festive days. This uniform timing outside the Valley makes it easier for customers to remember and plan their banking activities while traveling or visiting family.
Key Dates of Operation
The special counter services will be available during the peak Dashain period, specifically on the following dates:
- September 29 (Ashwin 13, 2082), Monday
