LRE team: What is the update on Dha town? I mean what is the overall impact on the plot prices by looking at the buying selling data?


I guess the impact has to be positive especially on the boundary plots of B and D blocks of town. If that is the case then there are many lessons and good news for Prism plot holders currently having boundary plots with open or unplanned areas.

Dear All,
I want to know what is differnce between affidavit plot and normal plot.?
Why affidavit plot price is less.?
Any risk to but affidavit plot in DHA?

Thank you

Jameel replied on Thursday, May 21, 2015 02:24 AM PST 

There are 3 stages
Affidavit file>>>>> after land ownership by DHA [Cleared by Land department Including Patwari] >>>>>>>> Becomes allocation file [ it means in next Ballot DHA will give Plot Vs this file>>>>>>>>> Ballot Now your allocation is Converted in Plot You pay development charges >>>>>> development takes 6,7 years>>>> Possession announced Now you can make Home

90% there are no issues in Affidavit
files but 10% there are issues that is why people only pay token of One Lac and pay rest of money in DHA office once intimation issued "that this File's Land issues cleared and now allocation will be issued". After that usually in 6 weeks Allocation is issued.

Legal Limit to carry CASH Foriegn Currency out of Pakistan

Gents,

These days we hear a lot of news that people are being stopped at airport customs for carrying foreign currency.

I like to know what's the allowed limit for carrying Foreign Currency out of Pakistan.

Being oversea's PK I pay taxes in north America.

Thanks

Wj

A replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:10 PM PST 

10,000 USD.

Mansoor replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:11 PM PST 

Max limit is 5000 $ in cash.

sleepless replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:11 PM PST 

$10,000 is the limit you can carry as per USG policy

wj replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:18 PM PST 

Do we have to declare the amount exceeding 10000 $ at Pakistan Customs???

What happens if one have more than 10000$ in cash while exiting pk???

Ayan ali replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:18 PM PST

stn replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:27 PM PST 

10000 $ limit is per person or per family.

A replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:29 PM PST 

I take the money out easily through banks. As long as you dont mind loosing few thousand Ruppees due to bank interest rate. But honestly, it is worth it. no risk and no headache.

wj replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:31 PM PST 

Sir banks waley demand draft nai bana ker dete yehi to masla hay...

It was easy to make DD and take money in/out but now its not easy any more...

Simple example... my friend has BTK Overseas plot he went to make DD for USD from his account... bank says they don't issue DD in foreign currency :(

AAA replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:32 PM PST 

US $5000 from Pakistan and $10000 from USA. My advise keep $50 minus from these amount per person. Please search State Bank Of Pakistan latest notification in this regard.Kids under 3 years have 25% of this quota.This information is about last Xmas time.

Hussain replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:35 PM PST 

AAA's information is correct. Govt. reduced the limit from 10000 to 5000 last year.

Bukhari replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:37 PM PST 

Bhaiyyon first of all Banks DO issue foreign currency DD. If anyone making lame excuse then there is a host of LEGAL exchange companies who would very happily do that for u

anas replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:39 PM PST 

10000 usd per person (adult only not infant )

Ahmet replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 09:52 PM PST 

Depends.

If your name is Ayyan Ali, you can take up to $1 million.

Moin Khan replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 11:26 PM PST 

If your money is legit. Proof of Source, No need to worry for AML/ATF.
Just use Bank's wire with peace of mind.

It is "the" cash with one can runs into trouble of you are not well aware of your limits and also, some try to fool you at departure.

Jjj replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 11:31 PM PST 

Ahmet but then you should have ability to take pain like her.
And the amount to carry is not per person though if family is traveling together then it is consider per family. Otherwise a family of 6 can take $ 60,000/- at once or 30,000 if it is allowed 5000, the sequence of boarding cards and passports can prove that it's same family.

wj replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 11:58 PM PST 

Each individual can take 10000 USD not per family... please read below information that i grabbed from SBP website (chapter 18)



Export of Foreign Exchange.

hi..
i would like to share my personal experience while traveling out of canada. customs stopped my husband in jetty not at security checkpoints and asked for if he is carrying any cash . if yes then it should b less than 10000$ not even 10000&exact. the next question was if any of his family members travelling with him. they asked me and kids to b disembark with all our hand carrys and calculated all the cash carried by me and my husband in $ , and all the tid bits of pak rs and few dirhams and when they found out it 9900$ altogether then they let us go.
its per family not per person . per person if the family is traveling seperately.

How much dollars a dependent visa holder can carry with him/her to U.S.from pakistan

Hameed replied on Thursday, May 12, 2016 10:02 PM PST 

It's all confusing. I'm pasting new item from Dunya news "SLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar presided an important meeting on Thursday where governor State Bank told that the cash limit allowance of ten thousand dollars for foreign travel is being abused and acting upon the situation, government has lowered the maximum allowance limit to five thousand dollars. This move is expected to curb the abuse of previous allowance limit.
It was decided that children of up to age 12 will be allowed a maximum of two thousand five hundred dollars whereas the allowance cap for the newly born children will be one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars.
Federal minister said that the five thousand dollars limit is applicable to the passengers who want to carry foreign currency while traveling abroad. It was also decided that with effect from March 17, 2014; the exports to Afghanistan will not be permitted in Pakistani rupees. Both countries will be able to use regular banking channels for payments.
Pakistan has held ten thousand dollars cap for international travelers for many years. It merits mentioning here that the maximum cash allowance limit for international travel is ten thousand dollars in several other countries as well."
According to state bank website it's 10,000 dollars

please advise which plot i should dispose of, right now, or after few months

K 1906
J 1955
J 1288

Thanks
waiting anxiously

CMY replied on Thursday, May 21, 2015 09:39 AM PST 

R 1499 very good large road plot.
K 1906 Not worst but week
location. Hold or exchange by adding money
J 1955 Ok to hold for 5 years
J 1288 Sell this. Not worth waiting 3 to 5 years.

Please do fill this >>> Contact LRE form so in case plot next to you is for sale you could make pair or sell your plot in form of pair to get better price. Many times two brothers want to have plot next to each other so pay extra money.

Every plot holder in Prism should fill this form to have extra benifit for buying selling in pairs. Pairs are hard to find and even week location can be sold in pair. If you are not selling even in next 5 years giving LRE your contact can hurt you in any way. Many very dishonest dealers bribe DHA staff to get your private phone info and start calling you anyway. Hang up on them quick before they trap you into selling a good location too early. Do fill this form >>> Contact LRE form We never call you or bother you unless you yourself tell us to sell your location

Attn Block B

We love your efforts going place to place and taking pics to help people, please I need your depth analysis on the bigger pocket of "Area Excluded" in DHA-9 Block B, why it is left as is by DHA and when you say its property of DHA how much are you sure abt it and if so then what DHA can plan here to develop.
Please spare some time to answer as this question is in many of the mind and different dealers making it worst area to scare investors.
Thanking you in advance.

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:08 PM PST 

Jimmy Area Excluded is not a pocket. It is DHA property but left unplanned. I am sure about it for two reasons.

1 - I went to DHA office Phase 6 and asked . They told me that DHA cannot show any ones property as DHA in their map by Law.
If you look at Map, DHA has marked a boundary around B and even Excluded areas . DHA is so much cautious thaat they removed 2 house from their map (Near Excluded area). Had it been not DHA land they had to mark it outside DHA for legal reasons. Anyone can file a case against DHA if they include someone else property in their map and show it as their property.

I hope that clear.

Jimmy replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:14 PM PST 

Thanks for the quick response I really do appreciate.
Now say something abt my Plot B646 cuz the boundary does bothers me.

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:15 PM PST 

I am not clear about what they will develop there but hopefully something good

khurram replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:22 PM PST 

Dont make fool of people that area is Farmanites Proposed M block and they refuse to sell to dha for a moment later if they sell or not sell its not clear.
Hopefully dha file buy this area.

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:24 PM PST 

Jimmy you can see in map that boundary behind your plot is very straight so you should have guessed that there is no village there and if you look on google you will know that there is no village.

Dont feel worried. It is very much clear that this area will be developed first

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 07:39 PM PST 

Khurram i am not making anyone fool. I am not dealer and i will be least bothered if he keeps or sell the plot. I do my own research and guide honestly

Go to formanites.pk

If we assume you are right than Formanites administration is pretty dumb not to show it as part of their own map but letting DHA show ...

wj replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:04 PM PST 

Block B, thanks for your effort on helping us on this forum...

Can you comment on Q-Block Boundary wall, I have plot facing boundary Q-585. There is brick unit below the boundary wall which I am not sure owned by DHA or some private person.

I read some where on this blog that land below Q block is reserved for some university? please comment on that if not.

Thanks

wj

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:31 PM PST 

Q-585 is not a boundary plot. I think it is reasonable
location if not too good.

Jimmy replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:40 PM PST 

To all who have concerns of Aera Excluded let me finish this confusion once for all. I am planning to go to DHA office from the last 2 days and could not get up earlier after taking lexotanil 3mg and also due to my age factor.
Once I am gone there I will make sure not to return without getting the authentic answer not from a clerk staff of DHA but from a reasonable authorities, I might get chance to meet Brig. Babar and will ask the same. So bro till then wait for my post.

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:44 PM PST 

Sorry i thought it is 685..
Yes 585 is on boundary . The area is not DHA owned . Good things is that there is no village so right now it is not as dangerous as it looks. Hope that something good is developed there....

Block B replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:47 PM PST 

That would be good Jimmy

Jimmy replied on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 08:58 PM PST 

If Askari comes there or anything else but good one then,,, I will purchase one more Plot in Block B or will make pair with mine (allotted one). To me I like this block that to escape from 9 easy to run and to enjoy go deep close to Polo ground and sounding area.

Waqas replied on Thursday, May 21, 2015 02:07 AM PST 

People are in panic!!! Everyone was expecting 70Lacs (without dev charges)+ profit but this is not the case currently. The
prices would be better in next 1.5 years.... Insha Allah...

I bought a disputed plot @ bpundary wall -parkview in 2012.... and sold it in 2015 @ 3 times of the purchase price..... Donot worry abt location.. just wait ....

Genius replied on Thursday, May 21, 2015 04:09 AM PST 

Dear khurram,

Your analysis are NOT correct with regards to the
location of Formanite Society. In a latest post, kindly check my latest update where you will find the Formanite society clear showing it is away from Excluded Area of DHA.

I agree with Phase-B as this area is being acquired by DHA and discussions are being done internally between Askari & DHA. So very soon a decision will be made and then if becomes a part of DHA, then DHA will issue a mini ballot for Such areas within Phase-9.

So eventually Block-B is going to be the Best Block of DHA linking phase-9 with Phase-5 & LRR.

I as an investor point of view highly recommend to buy plot in Block-B of phase-9.

Best Regards
