With Ramadan 2025 just around the corner, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) government has announced an early release of salaries and pensions for its employees. This decision comes in light of the two weekly holidays falling on March 1 and 2, ensuring that government employees receive their payments in time for the holy month.
The KPK provincial Finance Department has confirmed that government employees and retired individuals will receive their salaries and pensions for January on February 28, 2025, instead of the originally scheduled March 1. Since March 1 and 2 fall on a Saturday and Sunday, the government has decided to advance the payment date to facilitate smooth financial arrangements before Ramadan.
Ramadan is a significant month for Muslims worldwide, marked by fasting, prayers, and charity. In Pakistan, people prepare extensively for the holy month, making early salary and pension payments a crucial step in ensuring financial stability for government employees and pensioners. By disbursing salaries and pensions before Ramadan 2025 begins, the government aims to help families manage their expenses efficiently.
When Will Ramadan 2025 Start?
Ramadan 2025 is expected to commence on March 1 or 2, depending on the sighting of the crescent moon. The anticipation for the holy month is high, with Pakistani citizens making preparations for fasting, special prayers, and religious activities.
The KPK government’s decision to release salaries and pensions before Ramadan 2025 reflects a thoughtful approach toward its employees’ financial well-being. As families gear up for the sacred month, this move will ensure they can plan ahead and meet their Ramadan expenses without delays.
