Eidul Fitr 2025 – Expected Dates

Eidul Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramazan, and its exact date depends on the sighting of the Shawwal moon. The final decision will be made by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which is set to meet on March 30, 2025 (Ramazan 29).

• Public holidays: March 31 to April 2 (Monday to Wednesday).
• With Saturday and Sunday (March 29-30) included, this results in a five-day break.

Scenario 2: Eid on April 1 (Tuesday)

• If the moon is not sighted on March 30, Eid will start on April 1 (Tuesday).
• Public holidays: April 1 to April 3 (Tuesday to Thursday).
