Pak Arab Society / Central Park / Bahria Nasheman / EMC

Guys - AOA
I am based in Middle East and want to move to Lahore with family and looking for a 5 marla (LDA approved) project as i believe projects without LDA approval could be risk investments.

Can someone advise me if the following projects have LDA approval.

1. Bahria Nasheman
2. Pak Arab Phase 2
3/ Bahria EMC
4. Central Park

Regards
Syed Assad

I think Major Rift have resolved
Price will Fixed Like Dc rates and in Lahore will possibly not much different than DC rates
Transfers and Stamp fees will happen in DC rates
Federal tax will be charged based on Fare Market Value
FBR will audit/probe last 5 ys transactions, Not 10 yrs [ that is still pinching me] Actually 10 ys Probe was already near to impossible even Banks also don't Keep that old record due to every day changes in soft wares. For Overseas investors it is easy to Bring white money but difficult to deal with Corrupt officials, and For Local investors or holders it will difficult to prove white money both will be discouraged
I am Closely watching new developments before commenting any details.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Friday, July 22, 2016 04:11 AM PST 

What do you mean when you say fair market value. Before federal tax was on gain. E.g. if net gain will be 10 lac then one has to pay 1 lac. But if market value will be fixed then it seems GOVT going to take 10% on market value either one sell in loss or profit. What kind of this deal is? GOVT is in win win posation & giving one free token to black money holders to take money out. Please don't become aggressive buyer and wait. The one who will sell now will be in total benefit. And new buyers will be in total loss if they will buy at high price.

Asad-Ali replied on Friday, July 22, 2016 04:45 AM PST 

Ahmad Hassan, you are absolutely right. same question in my mind, if market value will be fixed with annual 10% increase. then according to this formula Capital Gain Tax should be zero if i buy a plot in July 216 and sell in May 2017, so net Gain will be ZERO according to market value which is FIXED in july 2016 and may 2017.

Ultimately It seems that FBR will apply Flat 2% or 3% CGT of current market value (Apply on Seller)

User_9325® replied on Friday, July 22, 2016 05:41 AM PST 

I think there will an amnesty for past transactions as it will bring chaos. fbr officers will get rich due to under the table setllements and governement will lose revenues due to low level of transactions. dont know why they tried to sacrifice the hen rather then enjoying the eggs they were already eating.

Advice needed for small investment

Today I visited a number of housing societies on the new constructed defense road, and found a remarkable developments in the area.

I am middle income group person, and want to buy a plot in any society of the area. My budget is 2 to 3 Million.

I have contacted a number of dealers and found the following two options of plots in my range, and are lucrative to me especially because of Lahore Ring Road:

1. A 5-Marla Plot at Khayaban-e-Amin (About 25 to 30 Lac).

2. An 8 to 16 Marla Plot at Audit (About 20 to 30)

Kindly advise me to decide which investment would be beneficial in the short and long term.

It is better to buy a off ground 5m plot in bahria orchard for better gain in near future.

User_6006® replied on Friday, July 22, 2016 06:11 AM PST

files , societies on GT , sheikhpura , kasur etc better thn this both

Iftikhar Butt replied on Friday, July 22, 2016 07:06 PM PST 

Dear Friends, Thank you very much for your comments. But frankly, I couldn't find any real reason why I shouldn't not invest in any the above societies.

Especially Audit & Accounts Phase 2, which is a Cooperative Housing Society, where the
prices are still very cheap and one can safely expect that the prices could be doubled after the Lahore Ring Road SL-2 will pass through it after one year.

Please tell me why I cannot expect a good profit margin in Audit 2 during the next one year?

change of property laws

Dear All

There has been a lot of discussion on the successful meeting of Government and dealers, however I would like to point out that the new laws have been passed by parliament and hence no one including Mr. Dar can change or amend them. These will have to go back to the parliament for any amendments. Secondly the supreme court can set aside a law passed by parliament if it is against the constitution of Pakistan otherwise it cannot change or order a stay on a law passed by the parliament.

Secondly I think in any market, perception is more important than reality. If most people think that the market will go down, then it will go down regardless of the underlying fundamentals. Property has had a good run for the last 3 years and its gains have been 10 times more than the growth rate of the economy. Therefore it cannot go on increasing at this rate. Eventually all property is linked to the over all economy. You cannot separate the two for the long term.

oh thank you very much for telling the greatest secret of world

Habib replied on Thursday, July 21, 2016 06:31 PM PST 

There is inherent Tendency in real estate market and that is its inertia for both Up and Down, You recall slow down in 2005 but Bottom in 2008. You will hardly see any change or panic selling for at least one year, My anticipation is Transections will fall down price growth will stop but fall in price will not happen, This Situation will Continue for Couple of years and then there will be improvement

I will warn Buyers to be extremely cautions in Buying Futuristic Properties, reason is development and hand over is lot dependent on turn over, Usually developers and big file holders keep holdings and slowly release in Market, In Slow over the Money Supply to developer dries, resulting sometimes in Collapse no matter how sincere they are.

End on 2017 will be good time to buy ready properties bit cheaper than today price and Pak rupee may have to face pressure as well.

Suggestion of system change

I really appreciate fast successful meetings our FBR Team, Mr. Haroon Akhter and Minister for current Tax Policy. Why did not this respected management utilizing goby from other countries like Europe, Australia, USA or Canada. Currently the discussion concludes that Black Money (OVERSEAS HALAL EARING) becoming issue day by day and it will effect drastically to Overseas Pakistani. A small change in system can resolve many issues and will give best conversion and usage of “WHITE MONEY”

I will feeling itchy and uncomfortable by giving the example of India our neighbor where all overseas Indian have one NRIs (Non Residence Indian) account (NRE), which is using very efficiently and effectively in-country and no BLACK and WHITE concept for overseas workers. Our Management can take other country best goby.

Non Residence Overseas account lets Overseas Pakistani transfer Our earnings to Pakistan conveniently with complete security in “WHITE” mode.
Features & Benefits: (1.) Free transfers of funds freely between Pakistan and abroad. (2.) Pay ZERO tax on the interest earned on your Non Residence Account in Pakistan
Accessibility: (1.) Withdraw cash easily and shop worldwide with International Debit Card. (2.) Appoint a mandate to operate your account for you
Managing your account: (1.) Transfer your funds freely to any place outside Pakistan. (2.) Conduct transactions securely online, 24x7 with Net Banking . (3.) Other benefits of Pay utility bills, Cheque books, sage deposit lockers same typical.

To transfer money to your NR Overseas account, we can: (1.) Transfer funds from abroad in a freely convertible foreign currency (2.) Present foreign currency notes / traveler’s cheques brought in by us on your visit to Pakistan. (3.) Directly remit the amount to Pakistan bank from your overseas bank account. (4.) Transfer funds from an existing Non Residence Overseas Account held in other banks in Pakistan.

Now when one overseas will use this amount purchasing the property by paying from his overseas account the money will be always WHITE and no need to worry to overseas employee as well as FBR. It will save a lot of time and work very professionally.
