LAHORE – The holy month of Ramazan closes to an end with people in Pakistan now waiting for Eidul Fitr 2025.
On the eve of the festival, the elders of a family traditionally distribute cash gifts among children and it is called “Eidi”.
For Eidi, fresh currency notes of various denominations, including Rs100, are used and the children spend the amount to buy toys and treats for them to celebrate the Eid.
The fresh currency notes can be bought from the State Bank of Pakistan and other banks across Pakistan.
But sometimes, people were unable to get the bundles of fresh notes from the banks. In this situation, they can visit the shops in open market to buy the fresh notes.
Rs100 Currency Note Bundle Rate
In open market, shopkeepers sell the fresh currency notes bundle at higher prices. The worth of a Rs100 currency note bundle stands at Rs10,000 but in open market you have to pay extra money.
The Rs100 bundle is being sold for Rs10,500 to Rs10,700.
