Detailed Report
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has already started distributing fresh currency notes to the public for Eid-ul-Fitr 2026.
Overall, citizens can collect fresh notes early during Ramazan to avoid shortages. Another source said it is likely that fresh notes will be difficult to get as Eid nears.
Besides bank branches, some sellers have set up stalls and carts in busy bazaars across big cities in the country to sell new notes. However, they’re selling the new notes at higher-than-face-value rates.
The central bank is monitoring the situation closely to make sure that the distribution of fresh currency notes is completed and offered fairly to all citizens wherever needed.
