The Punjab Government has released the official schedule for court fees applicable to various legal applications, claims, and appeals, effective from 2024. The new fee structure includes charges for a wide range of services provided by the judicial system.
According to the schedule, fees for legal applications, such as divorce certificates, power of attorney, and requests for review, have been standardized. For instance, submitting an application for power of attorney or claims in civil court now requires a fee of PKR 500. Similarly, an appeal in family court costs PKR 1000, while divorce-related proceedings are set at PKR 1000 as well.
This schedule also includes fees for transferring documents, legal declarations, and other official matters. These updates aim to streamline the process and ensure transparency in the fee structure for court services.
The new court fee structure is expected to impact both individuals and businesses who engage with the judicial system, providing clear guidelines on charges for various services.
This fee schedule is part of a broader effort to improve the efficiency and transparency of the legal system in Punjab. The full breakdown of fees includes a detailed list for various legal matters, which ensures that citizens are aware of the costs involved in filing cases or requests.
