Pir Ilahi Baksh Tower (Ilmi Tower) is located on a hill near State Bank of Pakistan, Sukkur. It is 110 feet high and 66 feet wide. The tower was founded by Pir Illahi Bakhsh, minister for education in May 1939 and completed in 1940.

110 feet high, this tower seems to be even taller than the other because it is built on a small hill. So far it still has its four clocks but the hands stopped moving a long time ago. At the time of construction Kothawala had named the tower "Educational Tower" but with the passage to time, people started calling it the Pir Ellahi Bux Tower.
