Arhat Fee (Commission Charge)·آڑھت فیس

Roman Urdu: Adhat Fee / Arhat Fee

The arhat fee is the actual rupee amount an adhati earns as commission on a sale — the arhat rate (a percentage, typically 1.5%–2.5%) applied to the gross lot value. It is important to separate the rate (arhat %) from the fee (the computed PKR figure). In the kacha-arhti model the fee is charged to the farmer-seller's side and shown as a line item on the parchi.

Example usage

Example: Arhat Fee (Commission Charge) is shown as a separate line on the parchi so the farmer, buyer, and munshi can see the final settlement clearly.

Frequently asked: Arhat Fee (Commission Charge)

How is the arhat fee calculated?+
Gross lot value × arhat rate. Example: a 100-maund lot at PKR 4,000/maund is PKR 400,000 gross; at a 2% arhat the fee is PKR 8,000.
Who pays the arhat fee — buyer or seller?+
In most Pakistani mandis (kacha-arhti) the seller/farmer side bears the arhat fee, deducted from their payable. Some commodities or pakka-arhti deals split it or shift it to the buyer.
Is the arhat fee the same as the market committee fee?+
No. The arhat fee is the adhati's private commission; the market committee fee is a separate statutory charge (often 0.5%–2%) collected for the notified mandi. Both appear on the parchi.
