Before the transfer procedure begins and before making the payment of chosen plot or property in DHA, few of the property buyers want to verify the property.

Verification Procedure is pretty simple and all you need is to collect a Verification Form available at DHA Office Reception Y-Block, Lahore. People can get this verification form for Rs.650/=. Furthermore, you need to submit this form back to DHA Office Reception along with the following documents:

  • Copy of Allocation/ Allotment Letter
  • Copy of Computerized National Identity Card of Property Owner
  • Original paid Voucher of Verification Fee
  • Copy of Property Dealer’s Registration Card (if applied through Property Dealer)
Customer/ Authority Holder will collect the Verification Form from DHA Reception next day .

Applying for No Demand Certificate (NDC)

After verifying the ownership of property, you will have to apply for No Demand Certificate. No Demand Certificate (NDC) is actually the first step for property transfer in DHA, in which the owner has to clear all the remaining dues and outstanding objections. You need the following documents to further proceed with the process:
  1. Copy of Computerized National Identity Card
  2. Copy of Allocation/ Allotment Letter
  3. Copy of the Site Plan (For the plots located in possession areas)
  4. Property Tax receipt and clearance certificate from Walton / Lahore Cantt Board.
  5. No Objection Certificate (NOC) for Armed Forces Personnel in case of Service Benefit Plots/ Plots allotted out of Defence quota from GHQ AG’s Branch
The timeline for NDC for Non-Possession areas is 5 days, while in Possession areas, the timeline is 8 days. After that, you will receive Transfer Fee Voucher, Remaining Dues Voucher (if any) so you clear all dues before handing over property to the next property owner.

Transfer Fee for 1 kanal plot in Phase VII is Rs.50,950/= while in Phase IV, the transfer fee for 1 kanal plot is Rs.62,950/=. In short, transfer fee varies from phase to phase in DHA. After paying the transfer fee, and clearing the remaining dues (if any), you can apply to the registering/ transferring authority of Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for the sale/ transfer of immovable property. You can get the FBR Form from Federal Board of Revenue office or download it from FBR’s website at http://fbr.gov.pk

You will have to submit the FBR document to National Bank of Pakistan by filling in Seller & Purchaser’s names and DC Value of the property. If you are selling the property before two years, you will have to deposit DC Value of property, depending upon its location; otherwise, CVT is not applicable. Moreover, CVT is not applicable on 5 Marla plots. For instance, the DC Value of 1 kanal plot in Phase VII is Rs.40,00,000/= and the DC Value of 1 kanal plot in Phase IV is Rs.70,00,000/=.

Moreover, you need to fill in CVT form to get tax clearance from Income Tax department. 2% CVT fee is applied on per kanal basis. For instance, CVT fee for 1 kanal plot in Phase VII is Rs80,000 and for 1 kanal plot in Phase IV is Rs1,40,000. DC Value, CVT fee and Stamp Duty varies in every phase of DHA.

After 3 days of submitting CVT Form, FBR Form and Transfer Fee in DHA office, the management will give you time to visit office to complete the property transfer procedure.
Note:

In case of House or Open Possession Plot, customer will have to coordinate with Building Control Branch for Surveyor visit and dues clearance.

In case of Constructed Building, customer has to clear the TIP Tax of Walton / Lahore Cantt Board and Water Bill.
