Fees

Market Committee Fee·مارکیٹ کمیٹی فیس

Roman Urdu: Market Committee Fee

A statutory fee levied by the provincial Market Committee on every transaction in a notified mandi. In Punjab it's governed by the Punjab Agricultural Produce Markets Ordinance and the Punjab Agriculture Policy 2018; rate varies between 0.5%–2% depending on commodity and committee notification. The fee funds mandi infrastructure (gates, sheds, weighbridges).

Example usage

Example: Market Committee Fee is shown as a separate line on the parchi so the farmer, buyer, and munshi can see the final settlement clearly.

Frequently asked: Market Committee Fee

How is market committee fee calculated?+

Percentage of the gross sale value (e.g., 0.5% of PKR 400,000 wheat lot = PKR 2,000). Pakka Khata adds it automatically based on the mandi you've configured.

Who pays — buyer, seller, or split?+

By statute it's the buyer's obligation in most provinces, but in practice many mandis split it or pass it through the adhati. Always check your district notification.

Is GST/STRN tax separate from market committee fee?+

Yes — entirely. Market committee fee is provincial; GST/Sales Tax is federal (FBR). Both appear as separate lines on the parchi.
