The Sindh government has approved the early release of salaries, allowances, and pensions for Muslim government employees and pensioners ahead of Eid ul Fitr.
According to a letter issued by the Sindh Finance Department, all Muslim employees and pensioners of the provincial government will receive their March salaries, allowances, and pensions on March 16, 2026.
The decision also applies to employees working under work-charged and contingent paid establishments.
Under the routine schedule, salaries and pensions for March are usually paid on April 1. However, the provincial government has decided to release the payments earlier to facilitate Muslim employees and pensioners before Eid.
Eid ul Fitr is expected to fall on March 20 or 21, depending on the sighting of the Shawwal moon. The advance payment is intended to ensure that employees and pensioners receive their dues before the Eid holidays.
