This is a Punjab government opportunity within the state judicial administration, based at the Amritsar District Court, supporting the court's mediation and family-welfare functions.

District Court Counsellors typically operate in coordination with Family Courts and Mediation Centres attached to the district judiciary, offering parties in matrimonial and family disputes a structured opportunity to resolve differences before a case proceeds further, which helps reduce the case backlog in family-related litigation.

The remuneration for Counsellor 2026 is ₹600 per sitting, subject to a maximum of 5 sittings, or ₹7,000 per reconciled case — a case-based payment structure reflecting the specialised, part-time nature of this counselling role rather than a fixed monthly salary.
