Relief for employees as Sindh advances Eid payments
KARACHI: (Web Desk)- The Government of Sindh has announced early release of salaries and pensions for government employees and retirees ahead of Eid-ul-Adha, providing financial relief to thousands of families across the province.
According to an official notification issued by the Sindh Finance Department, all serving employees, pensioners, and eligible staff will receive their full May 2026 salaries, allowances, and pensions on May 20 instead of the usual payment date of June 1.
The decision has been taken in view of Eid-ul-Adha, which is expected to fall on May 27 or 28, 2026, subject to the sighting of the Zil Hajj moon. Authorities stated that the step aims to facilitate employees in managing Eid-related expenses without financial stress.
The notification further clarified that the early payment applies to all Muslim government employees, pensioners, as well as work-charged and contingent-paid staff across the province.
