📍 Sahiwal (Sargodha) Tehsil

A word of clarification that every first-time visitor to this tehsil needs: Sahiwal Tehsil in Sargodha District is a completely separate administrative unit from Sahiwal District in South Punjab. They share nothing administratively — the Sahiwal discussed here is part of Sargodha District, with its headquarters in Sahiwal town on the road connecting Sargodha City to the eastern parts of the district. If you are mailing documents or sending courier parcels, always write "Tehsil Sahiwal, District Sargodha" explicitly to avoid routing errors.

The tehsil's land is productive agricultural territory irrigated by the Lower Jhelum Canal system. Wheat and rice are the dominant crops, with citrus orchards increasingly being established by farmers in the well-drained sandy loam zones. The Arazi Record Center at the Revenue Complex in Sahiwal town handles Fard Malkiat issuance and mutation (Intiqal) processing. Citizens visiting for land record services should note that the Patwari Halqa circle relevant to their Chak number is the first person to approach — they maintain the primary revenue records (Girdawari) for their assigned area.

The Municipal Committee office on Main Bazaar handles birth and death certificates, trade licenses, and building plan NOCs within the municipal limits of Sahiwal town. For villages and union council areas outside the municipal boundary, births are registered through the Union Council office or the relevant Basic Health Unit. The Civil Court complex in Sahiwal handles property disputes, inheritance cases, and family matters — lawyers from the local Bar Association have their chambers adjacent to the court building.

Residents in the outer chaks (numbered agricultural settlements) travel to Sahiwal town for banking, medical care at the THQ Hospital on Hospital Road, and government document services. Mobile connectivity covers most of the tehsil through tower networks of major operators, and the BISP (Benazir Income Support Programme) distributes stipends through designated payment points in larger villages. Rescue 1122 emergency service covers the tehsil for fire and accident response.
