Karachi Commissioner Rate List – Official Daily Price Sheets

The Commissioner Karachi's office issues an official rate list every day, setting the maximum retail prices for essential food items sold across the city's markets.

This page brings together the latest notified rate lists – as image sheets you can view or download – organized by category, so residents can quickly check whether they're being charged a fair price at their local shop, bakery, or sabzi mandi.

Times of Karachi updates this page daily as soon as the Deputy Commissioner (DC) offices release the new price notification.

Every entry below links to the original rate sheet along with the date it was issued, so you can always confirm you're looking at the most current list.

Under the Sindh Price Control and Prevention of Profiteering and Hoarding Act, the Karachi Commissioner's office – working through the city's district administrations – fixes official retail price caps for essential kitchen items on a daily or near-daily basis.

These rates are based on wholesale market surveys and are meant to prevent overcharging, especially during price-sensitive periods like Ramadan, monsoon season, or supply shortages.

Retailers found charging above the notified rate can be reported to the relevant Deputy Commissioner's office or the district administration's price control magistrate for action under the law.
