Frequently asked: Palledar (Mandi Labourer)

How is palledari fee usually structured?+

Per-bag piece rate — typically PKR 10–25 per sack depending on weight and mandi — plus a small daily retainer. Settled at end-of-day or end-of-week.

Who pays the palledar — kissan or buyer?+

Convention varies by mandi. In most Punjab mandis the kissan side covers unloading, the buyer side covers loading. The adhati's parchi shows it line-by-line.

Does Pakka Khata track palledar wages?+

Yes — palledari is treated as a separate expense category linked to the lot and to the labourer's individual ledger so daily/weekly settlements run automatically.
