Pakistan will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of its Independence Day on August 14th.
Previously on May 18 a cabinet committee made to amend the NAB laws approved the design for a commemorative 75th anniversary banknote, as per the finance ministry.
The finance ministry had proposed the printing of the note from an international firm which would cost $6.64 million. Rejecting the finance ministry's proposal, the federal cabinet decided that the bank note should be printed locally to save public money.
