Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, November 15, 2025: The Punjab Government has issued new guidelines regarding the recently enhanced honorarium for sarpanches, clarifying how the payment will be managed based on the financial status of individual panchayats.
According to the latest instructions:
Panchayats with their own funds: Those panchayats that have an internal revenue stream or sufficient funds will be responsible for generating and paying the sarpanch honorarium from their own resources.
Panchayats without income: For panchayats that lack any source of income or are facing fund shortages, the Block Samiti will step in to arrange and disburse the honorarium.
