Depositing EAR fee

The EAR fee must be deposited by the candidate at the respective British Council bank account, details of which are provided below. Candidates must fill out a British Council Deposit Slip, available at these banks, when submitting payment. Please write CIE EAR fee on the British Council deposit slip before making payment.

Drop-box mailing service at SCB

To facilitate private candidates registering for a UK qualification, the British Council Pakistan has signed an agreement with Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) whereby SCB will collect forms and fees and later deliver the relevant documents to their local British Council office. This SCB drop-box mailing service is free of charge and it only applies to candidates who register privately with their local British Council office. It is not offered to candidates registering with outstation British Council offices. For e.g. Candidates residing in Multan cannot use this drop box mailing service if they want to register for an exam at Lahore. However, they can use this service for a Multan based examination. In case any bank deposit slips and/or required forms/documents are not delivered to the British Council, candidates would resolve the issue directly with the respective SCB branch or courier / post office (as for any other postal/courier services), based on their proof of posting. The British Council cannot be held liable for items lost in transit and, consequently, missed deadlines for registrations. The Standard Chartered designated branches operate from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Monday to Thursday with lunch/prayer break from 1.30 to 2.30 p.m., on Friday 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. with lunch/prayer break from 1.00 to 3.00 p.m. and on Saturday 9.00 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. The list of designated SCB branches can be found at http://www.britishcouncil.org/pakistan-exams-banks-list.pdf

Alternate mailing details

The stamped bank deposit slip (Exams Copy) along with the required form and documents can either be dropped at the SCB branch or sent by courier or registered mail to the appropriate British Council office. Mailing addresses of the British Council offices are stated in column above. Candidates must retain photocopies of all documents for their own reference.
