As the joyous festival of Eid ul Fitr 2025 approaches, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has announced the issuance of Rs. 27 billion in new currency notes to facilitate the tradition of giving ‘Eidi.’ This annual initiative ensures that fresh notes are available to the public through commercial banks nationwide, making Eid celebrations even more special.

Ensuring Availability Across Pakistan

The SBP has partnered with over 17,000 bank branches across the country to distribute the new currency notes. In addition, ATM networks have been optimized to maintain a steady supply of cash, preventing shortages and ensuring seamless transactions. This move reflects SBP’s commitment to smooth financial operations during the festive period.

A Cherished Tradition

Eid ul Fitr is a time of generosity, love, and sharing, and the tradition of giving Eidi—monetary gifts given to younger family members—is a key part of the celebrations. The availability of crisp, new currency notes enhances this cherished custom, bringing smiles to children and loved ones.

Eid ul Fitr 2025 Date and Moon Sighting

Eid ul Fitr is expected to fall on March 31, 2025, subject to moon sighting confirmation. As families prepare for festive gatherings, the SBP’s initiative ensures that cash availability is not a concern, allowing people to focus on celebrating the occasion.

With these arrangements in place, Pakistanis can look forward to a smooth and joyous Eid celebration. If you are looking to get your hands on new currency notes, visit your nearest participating bank branch or use designated ATMs for convenient access.

Wishing you a blessed and prosperous Eid ul Fitr 2025!
