Punjab Government Waives Local Government Birth & Death Registration Fees 2025
The Punjab Local Government has officially waived all fees for birth and death registrations, making the process completely free of cost across the province. The new fee structure was announced under the directions of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to provide relief to citizens and ensure every birth and death record is properly registered.
According to the Local Government & Community Development Department (LGCD) Punjab, the updated fee schedule shows zero charges (NIL) for initial birth or death registration. This decision is aimed at promoting digital registration, accuracy in population data, and supporting public convenience.
🟢 Details of the Revised Fee Structure
| Sr. No | Description | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| A | New birth or death registration (within 7 days) | Free (NIL) |
| B | Late registration (after 7 days but within 60 days) | Rs. 200 |
| C | Registration after 60 days (with approval from Union Council Secretary) | Rs. 1,000 |
| D | Registration after 7 years | Rs. 2,000 |
| E | Correction in record | Rs. 500 |

Officials from the LGCD Punjab confirmed that this initiative will also help improve citizen data accuracy, streamline digital records, and ensure timely service delivery through the Dastak system and e-governance platforms.
