As the month of blessing Ramazan has started and after this the occasion of Eid will come which is the most celebrated festival of Muslims. And as the Eid is coming so the culture of Eidi is also going to up-rise.
So, now you don’t need to stand in long queues outside the bank in order to get new currency notes. Now you can get new notes on your figure tips because State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has started its SMS service again like last year for issuance of fresh currency notes this year. This service has been started to facilitate the citizens of Pakistan by just sending a text at 8877.
This SMS service will be operational from 2nd of Ramazan till 28th Ramadan-ul-Mubarak.
How To Acquire New Currency Notes
To get fresh currency notes you should have these two things:
- Your CNIC number
- e-Branch ID of your nearest designated bank branch
In order to get new currency notes, write CNIC<space>Code Number of your desired bank branch and send it to 8877. After this, in return the person will get the SMS containing transaction code, branch address and transaction validity date (the transaction validity date will be valid till couple of working days).
The fresh currency notes will be issued after providing transaction number and original CNIC to the respective bank branch.
