LAHORE: The fresh currency notes can be bought from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and other banks across Pakistan for Eidul Fitr 2026.
The last “Ashra” of holy month of Ramazan has begun with people in Pakistan now gearing up for Eidul Fitr 2026.
On the eve of the festival, the elder members of a family traditionally give cash gifts to children and it is called “Eidi”.
For Eidi, fresh currency notes of various denominations, including Rs100, are used and the children spend the amount to enjoy the day.
But sometimes, people are unable to get the bundles of fresh notes from the banks due to stock issues. In this situation, they can visit the shops in open market to buy them.
