Western union

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 09:43 PM PST 

WU will be very expensive way. Open a forign currency account in any Pakistan bank. Buy currency from open market and credit into your account. Some banks demands to keep cash for 30 days and some don't. You need to visit branch with all details of Saudi Bank account. Per transaction charges are RS. 1500. Banking currency rate will be applied. As per my calculations it will cost you arround 2.5% but WU or moneygram will cost you 4 to 5%. Another way is ATM if cash isn't much. It will also cost you 2.5% but there will be daily limit.

MIT® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 01:00 AM PST 

So you mean, by using any above channel, there is NO LIMIT whatsoever nor any legal permission required from any State Authority. Can you gentlemen clarify please.

Raza Rizvi replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 01:08 AM PST 

Rizvi sb. Go to UBL bank in KSA and transfer from their at better rate than any other way in KSA.

Rizvi ☺

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 01:09 AM PST 

There is daily or monthly limitation, only bank can clarify this. But state bank will accepts transaction if executes before 11 a.m. daily. If one will be late then one needs to visit next day before 11 a.m.

you can try dollareast (Telegraphic transfer ) or other dealers like this.

http://dollareast.com/telegraphic-transfer-swift-transfer

Through banks (swift transfer), procedure is also not difficult, you do not need a foreign currency account. They will use your PKR account and apply exchange rate of current date. Simple

SA® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 07:57 AM PST 

I am amazed how ignorant people are about REMITTANCES and LEGAL WHITE MONEY IN PAKISTAN. I have lived in Saudi Arabia for 10 years and still visit on and off.

99% of people in Saudi don’t have a clue how to handle their money in PAKISTAN. ( legally )

Most of the people in Saudi send money to Pakistan to support their families though WU, Banks or any other channel. These people don’t need any remittance records as the money is spent on necessities.

But Investors who want to invest in Pakistan need to maintain proper Record in Pakistan for their REMITTANCE to be declared " WHITE MONEY "

let me give you few examples where your HARD EARNED HALAL money is considered black in PAKISTAN.

1. You are travelling to Pakistan and greed comes over you. You put 1 lac Riyals in your laptop Bag and bring the money to Pakistan, convert the money through money changers and buy a plot or put in your bank. ( People do this thinking that their money is HALAL so no one will question them ). PAKISTAN CONSIDERS THIS MONEY BLACK.

2. You transfer your money into your XYZ relatives account and you pay from his account.

3. You send Dollars to your USD account in PAKISTAN , Invite money changers in the bank, convert your cash in PKR and deposit back into your account. ( PAKISTAN CONSIDERS THIS BLACK MONEY )

these are just few examples which people do with their money. there are many more.


NOW LETS COME TO THE POINT , HOW CAN YOU DECLARE YOUR MONEY WHITE OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED BY PAKISTAN AND FBR.

1. Open a bank Account in PKR in PAKISTAN. I USE UBL because SABB uses UBL as their remittance partner in PAKISTAN. YOU need to know which bank is in partnership with your Saudi Bank.

2. SIMPLY USE AL RAJHI to transfer your money or use your online SABB account to transfer money to UBL. If you are sending money through SABB to UBL account, the money will be deposited within 3 days with all the details of your transaction. If you use SABB to transfer money into any other bank, it will reach UBL KARACHI and then UBL KARACHI will issue a LOCAL PO which will be deposited into the bank which you have mentioned. ( NO record of remittance will be shown )

Note: Rajhi mostly uses HBL to process remittances.


3. When you receive money in PAKISTAN, You should have TT number or reference number with you, Along with scanned copy of Saudi bank voucher or money changer voucher. Go to your UBL branch and ask them to ISSUE " PRC" against your remittances. Your branch will make an application and you will sign it , they will scan it and send to the concerned department over email. After few days or even weeks with continuous follow ups eventually your PRC will arrive and you can collect it.

THIS PRC IS ONLY THING WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE and FBR ACKNOWLEDGES as FOREIGN REMITTANCES.

I have explained small details about UBL. procedure varies between different banks. BUT Keep in mind you need PRC certificate to legalize your money.

Lastly do not send money in USD in Pakistan. Because if you change USD to PKR from bank itself you will loose lots of money as their exchange rate is very poor ( they make lots of money by converting into PKR ) and the only way to get PRC from bank for USD is if you use banks services. if you withdraw USD and use local money changer , NO one will issue PRC and FBR or the GOVT. of PAKISTAN will not recognize your remittances as legal.

ALL this is for people who are investing in Pakistan. Money which is being used for necessities do not need to go through all this procedure.

ONE LAST THING

Overseas people who want to avoid paying 0.6% WHT on their bank transaction must file their income tax on yearly basis.( HIRE A LAWYER WHO WILL DO ALL THIS ON YOUR BEHALF FOR A VERY SMALL FEE of around 10-15 thousand ) As soon as you file your return you will be automatically updated as " FILER" STATUS and no WHT will be applicable on you when you buy a property, CAR, CASH withdrawals, BANK transfers etc. etc. All the money which you are sending to Pakistan is exempted income. There is no income tax on your foreign income which you are sending to Pakistan. All overseas will declare their income as foreign remittances and declare their assets. You will return a NILL income tax return with all your assets and money LEGAL.

I request all overseas to go through these procedures again and again as i myself have gone through all of this ( I learned it the hard way with no one to guide me) so i want other people to benefit. These are just simple steps with no extra money involved, just some paper work and all your money and assets will be legal.

I am willing to give answers to all of your questions which will help you legalize your money in Pakistan. Please forgive me if I am wrong some where. Whatever I have written is a personal experience and may vary from one individual to another.

Golf View Residencia prospect as an investment ( post no 82985)

Arshad sb,

I have no such intention of misguiding anybody. I have only shared my view based on the facts available to me.

I personally hold 4 plots in GVR.

After the latest meeting between Malik Riaz and GVR investors the market improved after receiving assurances from MR that GVR will be completed.

I received bids of Rs 5.2 million for my plots situated in North side but decided to turn them down for the reasons I shared in my post.

If my optimism and analysis is incorrect only time will tell.

Arshad Ali replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 04:26 AM PST 

Nabeel sb,first of all plz dont think that i m against GVR or its investors.But i m against the people like Malik Riaz who r fraud and they tell the lie with innocent investors.
I was part of that meeting with MR on 26th April but unable to understand when people will understand that MR was not telling the truth and people were happy with him.why u people dont make analysis what he was saying and why market improved.
Market improved because MR gave u following Khushkhabries
1.Dont pay remaining installments till further decision
2.there will b no surcharge on late payments
3.U can transfer your file without paying installments
4.Development will b started within 20-25 days

And i was laughing on innocent people like u who were believing on him that day.
Then market improved because our dealers brothers took advantage of these things ,as they started buying
files of down payments or with one or two paid installments on lower rates on that day and then within next 3,4 days and after it started drum beating that development is going to start and then they sold their files on higher rates with a very good profit in next 15 days and u people were happy that market is improving.No sir satta was improving.
So now after a month there is no chance of development and as i have already said NO CHANCE DUE TO STAY ORDER where is his promise of 20-25 days?
Market has started declining and now the people like u started drum beating for GVR just for nothing
Impact of what MR has said finished,Dealer brothers have won again.Ask any good lawyer,can MAlik Riaz start development in the presence of stay order?

Nabeel Khan® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 03:51 PM PST 

Dear Arshad sb,

I am not an associate or friend of Malik Riaz. I am just an invester who has invested in projects initiated by him after due consideration.

Contrary to your preception that Malik Riaz is a fraud I believe MR has set a new bench mark in Pakistan how housing societies ought to be developed. The example set by him is unprecedented when it comes to town planning and execution.

Quality of development in Bahria town Lahore, as witnessed by me, is far superior than any housing society I have come across including DHA.

I am well aware of the delays in some of his projects and difficulties faced by many investors. But on aggregate he has delivered on his promises which is no ordinary thing keeping in mind the functioning of the state and all the vested interests and mafias out there.

I well understand that stay order implies that status quo requires to be maintained by both parties and therefore no development possible.

But as I had stated in my previous post that Bahria Town, Lahore desperately needs access to Raiwind road and GVR concept was created at the first place to make this access so unique and beautiful that no other housing society can match it.

MR had announced that development shall begin in 20-25 days. What I understand from this is that negotiations are continuing in back channels with the concerned authorities for a resolution of this impasse.

I hope, as soon as the negotiations are complete the stay order will be vacated. Unlike the pml-n MaliK Riaz is quite keen to come out of the shadow of stay order :)

I cannot speak for any one else but I will hold on to my investment in GVR. I continue to remain very optimistic of a positive outcome.

Jazak Allah Khair

Single story construction cost 5 marla plot

AoA LRE friends,

I am planning to start construction of house within 4-5 months. I have limited budget. Family is small therefore I want to construct single storey for now. Friends can you give me estimate how much should I save for single storey construction having 2 bedroom. Thanks.

Haider replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 09:25 PM PST 

Anyone !!!

Kam replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 09:37 PM PST 

1300 to 1500 per sqft

Kam replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 09:42 PM PST 

U can say 15 lakh to 18 lakh

Jameel Mughal® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 01:18 AM PST 

1300 per square feet for Grey structure,
1500 for C Class Finish
1800 for B Class Finish
2200+ for A class Finish
Also add Cost of Foundation, Boundary Gate and Connections about 6 Lac
It is advisable to make Grey Structure both stories, Micromanagement can reduce cost about 10 to 15%

MIT® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 02:11 AM PST 

Above breakdown especially the micromanagement of grey structure for both stories by Mr. Jameeel is very efficient and cost effective idea.

Thanks kam and Jameel. Jameel sb any specific reason for suggesting constructing grey structure of both storeys ? Instead of finishing one storey with B class finish? Please guide.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 08:46 PM PST 

Monday is very important day. Either price will be 40 or it will be 60. All depends on launching of installment
files. Price is high because investors from Lahore and Karachi moved huge investment in Multan. I personally know one who bought 500 files. Now you all are very good judge that when investor jumped price will not come down.

Ali replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 11:46 PM PST 

@Ahmed Hassan Bro....500
files kuch ziada nhi ho gaya..62.5acres...Rs.2billion..thora discount kr lo please.

AHMAD HASSAN® replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 01:24 AM PST 

Ali Bahi, The person who sold me 1K file, his total land 1300 kanal is mentioned on affidavit, which is equal to 162 acre. This is Multan where people holding big chunks of land. This is the also reason of
DHA Multan success that they took big titles. Upper punjab (Lahore) side land has been distributed among brothers and sisters (inherently) and DHA find difficulties in dealing. This is not much. For Pakistanies easy way to make money and converted black to white is property business. Only SM has 45 houses in Karachi. Did you forget Bloachistan secretary news.

syed replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 03:47 PM PST 

these type of train crash down ,it's very long project

Ali replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 05:42 PM PST 

@Syed Bro..please dont try to creat unnecessary panic. It wil not be a long project as compared to
DHA lahore projects which took 10-15 years for balloting.

Its a solid project with large number of genuine investors. Yes there are speculators but solid investors too same as any other DHA projects. its safe till 45lac but if it crashed due to any reason it would not go below 40. People dreaming to become overnight millionars will loose not the genuine and long term investors. You will see stablity in the price in few days.

Golf View Residencia prospect as an investment

Golf View Residencia is the jewel of not only Bahria Town Lahore but for whole of Lahore as no comparable scheme with such lavish greenery and landscape exists.

It is correct that the scheme was due to be completed in December 2015 and is still facing delays despite the map having been issued and plots allotted.

However, this scheme offers the only access to Raiwind road to rest of Bahria Town.

This reason alone underlines the importance of this scheme for Bahria Town and in my view Bahria Town will do all within his powers to complete this scheme.

The fact that LRR southern loop bid approved does not envisage it passing through Bahria Town. This shows that convincing on behalf of Bahria town has borne fruits. This is a huge success for Bahria Town and GOLF VIEW RESIDENCIA.

IF ONE THINKS THROUGH THEN IT BECOMES OBVIUOS THAT GOLF VIEW RESIDENCIA WILL BE COMPLETED.

The above noted brief analysis justifies investing in this scheme as returns on investment shall be phenomenal as soon as development begins.

Arshad Ali replied on Saturday, May 28, 2016 04:41 PM PST 

Plz don't try to misguide people/investors as GVR is a flop project now.LRR will pass through it and just a stay order from LHC is the hurdle,how can govt.announce LRR in presence of a stay order.It is 200% risky,BT even can't start development.

As SOON as development begins right. I agree with you but let that development begin first, till then others would have earned a lot more on their investments in other societies. Everybody cannot hold undeveloped plots for 5 years plus

Ashraf replied on Sunday, May 29, 2016 09:25 PM PST 

AOA, Nabeel Khan what is the
update on development in GVR, as promise made by Malik Riaz has already passed more than one month and he stated that development will start in maximum 25 days.
there are rumours that Bahria Administration could only acquire 25 % of land
