The Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Sargodha has officially revised its fee structure for certificate verification and other related services. The announcement was made via a notification issued by Controller of Examinations Riaz Qadeer on Thursday, following a recent Board of Governors (BoG) meeting.
The new fee schedule is now in effect and applies to all students, institutions, and individuals seeking verification or duplicate documentation services through the board.
New Rates Announced for Verification Services
As per the revised structure, certificate verification fees have been updated across the board for different categories of applicants:
- Departmental Certificate Verification: Rs. 2,000
- Student Certificate Verification: Rs. 2,000
- Personal Verification within Pakistan: Rs. 3,500
These changes standardize charges for entities and individuals requiring confirmation of educational records for academic, employment, or legal purposes.
Duplicate and Triplicate Document Fees See Major Adjustments
In addition to verification charges, the board has also updated the costs associated with issuing duplicate and triplicate certificates, which are often requested in case of loss, damage, or official requirements.
Duplicate Certificate Fees
- Ordinary Processing: Rs. 5,000
- Urgent Processing: Rs. 6,000
Triplicate Certificate Fee
- Flat Rate: Rs. 12,000
For those applying for duplicate result cards, the fees have been revised as follows:
- Ordinary Processing: Rs. 2,000
- Urgent Processing: Rs. 3,000
These adjustments reflect a significant increase over previous charges, signaling a broader effort by the board to align its administrative fees with operational and logistical costs.
Board Justifies Revisions on Operational Grounds
In a statement accompanying the notification, Controller Riaz Qadeer emphasized that the fee adjustments were necessary to bring greater transparency, consistency, and sustainability to the board’s service operations.
“The revised fee structure aligns with the current operational needs of the board and aims to improve service delivery across all departments,” said Qadeer.
“It also provides clarity for applicants and ensures uniform application of charges.”
He further stated that the move is part of ongoing reforms aimed at enhancing the board’s financial efficiency, particularly in light of increased administrative demands and technological upgrades in record processing.
BoG Approval and Implementation Timeline
The fee changes were formally approved during the Board of Governors meeting held on June 26, 2025, following a review of the board’s service policies and financial performance.
The updated structure has taken immediate effect, and all applicants moving forward will be required to pay according to the new rates.
Key Decisions from the BoG Meeting Included:
- Uniform fees for different verification types.
- Simplified processing categories (ordinary vs. urgent).
- Increased cost for triplicate requests to deter misuse.
- Measures to enhance online application and payment procedures.
Implications for Students and Applicants
The revised fees are expected to have a noticeable impact, particularly on:
- Former students seeking to verify old records for employment abroad.
- Educational institutions requiring bulk verifications.
- Individuals needing urgent processing of critical documents.
While some stakeholders may view the increase as burdensome, BISE Sargodha maintains that the changes are justified by rising administrative costs, enhanced service standards, and expanded verification procedures now often integrated with NADRA and HEC databases.

Board officials also hinted at future steps aimed at digitizing service requests, including:

- Improved response times for urgent applications.
These measures are part of a broader strategy to modernize public service delivery and reduce the need for physical visits to the board office.
Conclusion: Transparency and Efficiency at the Core
The revised fee structure by BISE Sargodha is a significant administrative development that aims to streamline service charges, cover operational costs, and enhance user experience for those seeking verification and document-related services.
Applicants are advised to visit the official BISE Sargodha website or contact the board office directly to review the full list of updated charges and procedural guidelines.
As educational boards across Pakistan look to modernize and standardize their practices, such steps reflect a growing shift toward transparency, digital access, and efficient governance.
