After that, standard administrative service charges, governmental funds and operational service charge based on government pricing will be reserved and lists of the charges will be made by the central and provincial governments in the third quarter of this year. The lists will be made public later. This will enable the administrative service charges and governmental funds of more than RMB1 trillion each year to be transparent. Charges not on the lists shall not be allowed.
