All Punjab government employees will receive their salaries on March 26, ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, according to a report by 24NewsHD TV channel.
The advance salary payment is intended to help employees fully participate in the Eid celebrations. In this regard, the Punjab Finance Department issued an official notification on Wednesday.
Similarly, the Sindh government has also announced the early disbursement of salaries, pensions, and allowances before Eid, providing financial relief to employees. As per an official notification, March salaries will be paid on March 21 instead of the usual April 1 date, with pensions and allowances also being released on the same day.
Sindh Finance Secretary Fayyaz Jatoi has directed all provincial departments and institutions to implement the decision, ensuring that government employees and pensioners can prepare for Eid without financial difficulties.
