The Punjab government has amended the Birth and Death Rules 2025 to provide further relief to citizens registering births and deaths after the prescribed deadline.
Under the amendment, the period for fee-free late registration has been extended by another three years. Citizens will therefore be able to register delayed births and deaths without paying the applicable late registration fee during the extended period.
The Punjab government has formally issued a gazette notification confirming the amendment and extension of the fee waiver.
Punjab Local Government Secretary Zaid Bin Maqsood has directed the Director General of Local Government to ensure that the amended rules are implemented immediately.
The move is aimed at facilitating citizens who were unable to register births or deaths within the required timeframe and reducing the financial burden associated with delayed registration.
The extension is expected to make the registration process more accessible while encouraging citizens to complete official birth and death records.
