Muslim employees and pensioners of the Sindh government are set to receive their March salaries and pensions ahead of schedule, giving them extra financial breathing room as preparations for Eid ul Fitr begin.
The provincial government has decided to release March salaries, allowances and pensions in advance for Muslim employees and pensioners ahead of Eid.
According to a letter issued by the Sindh Finance Department, all Muslim government employees and pensioners — including those working under work-charged and contingent paid establishments — will receive their full pay, allowances and pensions for March on March 16.
The payment will be made earlier than the usual schedule, under which salaries and pensions are normally issued on April 1.
The decision has been taken as Eid ul Fitr is expected to fall on March 20 or 21, 2026, subject to the sighting of the Shawwal moon.
The move aims to ensure that Muslim employees and pensioners of the provincial government receive their dues before the Eid holidays.
