The suspension has been done for seven to fifteen days due to violations of regulatory instructions. 

SBP conducted mystery shopping at the outlets of exchange companies wherein it was observed that the aforesaid outlets were refusing the sale of foreign currencies to their customers despite having the availability of the same at their counters, the statement further added.
