How to get New currency notes on Eid 2025 in Pakistan

As the holy month of Ramadan progresses and the joys of Eid al-Fitr draw near, Pakistanis are eagerly preparing for the joyous tradition of giving Eid gifts to their loved ones, usually in the form of new currency notes.

In the past, the central bank used to issue fresh currency notes worth millions of rupees before Eid al-Fitr. However, since the coronavirus pandemic, this practice has been stopped. As a result, Pakistanis have had to make do with torn notes to celebrate Eid.

New currency notes on Eid 2025

Sources claim that the chances of new notes being issued on Eid 2025 are very slim. Although the State Bank has not made any official announcement regarding the issuance of new notes, it is unlikely that the central bank will issue new currency notes for Eid-ul-Fitr.

Fitrana Amount 2025

The current Fitrana amount 2025 in Pakistan per person is Rs 340 based on the price of wheat per kilogram. Similarly, Rs 800 has been fixed for 3.5 kilograms of barley, Rs 2,400 for 3.5 kilograms of dates and Rs 5,600 for 3.5 kilograms of raisins in Pakistan.

What is Fitrana In Islam?

It is obligatory for every Muslim (male and female) to pay Zakat al-Fitr before the Eid Ul Fitr prayer. A small amount set by the government is given to the needy and poor so that they too can participate in the great festival of Eid. The Nisab, which is the minimum amount of wealth before paying Zakat, establishes the amount of Zakat al-Fitr.

How to calculate fitrana 2025

Everyone wants to know how to calculate the amount of Fitrana. The calculation of Fitra is very simple and straightforward. The natural course should be multiplied by the number of people in the household.

There are different ways to calculate the amount of Fitrana. Various scholars including Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman have calculated Fitrana 2025 and have given the amount of Sadaqah Fitr 2025 in Pakistan.

The Sadaqah Fitr on wheat, barley, dates, raisins and Ajwa dates in Pakistan in 2025 is as follows:

  1. Wheat (Gandum) – Rs. 340/
  2. Barley (Jau) – Rs. 800/
  3. Dates (Khajoor) – Rs. 2,400/
  4. Raisins (Kishmish) – Rs. 5,600/
