The Moon in Shawwal 1446 AH is expected to be seen on the evening of March 30, 2025, marking the beginning of Eidul Fitr, according to Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

Astronomical calculations show that the new moon will be born at. 15:58 PST on March 29, 2025, and there is a “good chance” to see the crescent the following evening, reported PMD.

However, weather conditions across different regions are expected to be partially cloudy, which can affect visibility in some areas.

Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) has also predicted that Eidul Fitr is likely to fall on March 31, 2025.

The Central Ruet-E-Hilal Committee together with the Zonal and District Committee will meet on 30 March to officially confirm the Moon’s observation, which will determine the date of Eid celebration nationwide.

In the event of a holiday, the government has declared a three-day holiday from March 31 to April 2, 2025 for Eidul Fitr, according to a review from the Cabinet Secretariat.
