The Court Fees (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2016

The Court Fees (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2016

This law amends the Court Fees Act to update how court fees are paid in Punjab. It allows the state government to decide whether court fees must be paid using impressed stamps, adhesive stamps, or a combination of both. The legislation also defines what counts as a valid stamp, including electronic stamps, franking machines, and unique numbers generated by software. This change provides flexibility for the government to modernize the payment system while ensuring that all fees charged under the law are properly documented and legally valid for use in court proceedings.
