Eid al-Fitr

Eid-ul-Fitr Holidays in Pakistan Announced

The federal government of Pakistan has officially announced the public holidays on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, granting a three-day break.

According to a notification issued by the Cabinet Division on Wednesday, the holidays will commence from Monday, March 31st 2025, to Wednesday, April 2nd 2025.

Additionally, the decision has taken to enable citizens nationwide to observe the religious occasion with family.

Offices and businesses will remain close from March 31st to April 2nd and resuming from April 3rd.

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on the first day of the month of Shawwal, which follows Ramadan as the 10th month of the lunar-based Islamic calendar.

Like the start of Ramadan, the date of Eid is established by the sighting of the crescent moon, which generally appears one night after the new moon, and marks the onset of the month of Shawwal, the tenth of the Islamic Hijri calendar.
