The Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) has officially revised its service charges for the financial year 2025–26. This move is set to impact all property transactions across Punjab, including those in Lahore. These new rates are effective immediately and apply to a wide range of services, including property transfers, certified copies, and e-registration.

Updated PLRA Service Charges 2025-26:

• Express Service (Copy, Transfer, Gurdawari): PKR 3,500
• Standard Service: PKR 800
• Copy of Registry: PKR 1,300
• Certified Copies:

New Property Valuation Charge Introduced

PLRA has also introduced a 0.1% property valuation fee on all purchase and sale transactions through the e-registration portal, with a minimum charge of PKR 3,300, applicable even to non-sale transactions.

Onboarding Fee for Housing Societies

For approved housing societies integrating with PLRA’s digital system, a one-time onboarding charge of PKR 5,000 per property has been introduced.

 

What This Means for Property Buyers & Sellers

The updated charges are part of PLRA’s efforts to enhance service quality, digitize land records, and improve infrastructure for real estate management in Punjab. However, the higher costs, especially for express services and digital transactions, may increase the overall expense for buyers, sellers, and real estate agents.
