ASA
Could you please help me to understand that:

1. On this website, the rate of 10 Marla Plot in Bahria Orchard is 1300,000 to 1600,000

2. Bahria Town Office gives the rate of a 10 Marla plot is: 2350,000 with one year installment.


Why is this big difference and please also tell something about the importance of location and future of Bahria Orchard?

Is it a good decision to buy plot on 1 year installments there for 2350, 000 with 10 % extra for corner. :h

ua replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 11:02 AM PST 

Buy from open market. You will save the extra million.

Thanks [ua] for your advice. Most of the people advised me to buy from open market because there are 2 mail uses of this.

1. You can choose the
location and plot you want.
2. You can save a lot because the rates in the open market are much too less.

DHA Valley Islamabad

DHA Valley was a fraud project since beginning. No land has been developed after years. Lot of people have lost their savings and no chance of return.

Sad sad state of affairs in country.

danial replied on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 10:16 PM PST 

they are very clvr ppl, they only and only started and conducted the development work in the approved portion i.e oleander, lily, homes and overseas. the development work is around 50-60 percent in those ares. however i have a question that with out the master plan which included all the facilities of life ? would the remaining DHA valley will have any appealing shape? but 1 thing is sure that
prices will now definitely rise up as the plot holders reduced.good news for those sectors.

Good News ?????? replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 01:04 PM PST 

is this a good news?

jago pakistan replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 01:09 PM PST 

u know that overseas pakistani made extensive pressure on dha management , thats why the
location of overseas block and DHA Homes was changed , if u look into the original and old map the location of DHA homes and overseas was some wheer else, can local pakis can build the pressure?

Irfan replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 03:22 PM PST 

By DHA Valley overseas you mean ALL Blocks of Overseas or only oleander and lily?

There are many blocks in DHA Valley Overseas.

danial replied on Friday, July 20, 2012 12:32 PM PST 

@@@irfan

i dnt know much , but one thing is for sure , that the project and plots will gain some worth , as they are reduced to very minimum qty. now the
prices of plots will be surely incresed once the possesion takes place.

Faisal awan replied on Friday, July 20, 2012 01:28 PM PST

Irfan replied on Friday, July 20, 2012 07:43 PM PST 

can you please google earth markers,
the problem is they will be one year old.

any brother can visit site and post actual pictures?

Difficult Question replied on Saturday, July 21, 2012 04:15 PM PST 

I have a million dollar question:

How far DHA Homes are located from Islamabad Highway?
From within DHAI, I was told different answers: 12 KM, 8.1 Km, so on and so forth?

Google will not give correct mileage as there is no direct road so far?
I think if some friend living in Pakistan can visit and take the coordinates of the first built/under construction home and then it could be correlated to any point on the Islamabad Highway.
Can some friend do this service to us expats, please?

I opened my account with SAMBA Pakistan which is basically a Saudi American Bank offering best rate compare to others. I am enjoying the best services from them. Operating my account online from abroad. I had account with Standard Chartered but regreted later on due to their poor dealing, since last four years I was trying to get ATM card could not get because we expats are having limited vacation time and the bank procedure is very lengthy and complicated. Go for SAMBA the best.....!!!!!!!!!!

Saudi-expat replied on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 10:17 PM PST 

I am very happy with the service provided by Bank Al-Habib, not habib bank, charge me only 5$ for depositing Dollar check

Kashif Ali replied on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 11:04 PM PST 

I'm the second to recommend BANK-Al HABIB. The staff is so co-operative and friendly.

I'm co-ordinating through email with Bank-Al Habib Manager in Pakistan, and he always reply me in time with good advises.

Branches are good with no long ques, rate is good. All branches are online.

Kashif Ali

Opinion replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 12:01 AM PST 

At present, Bank Al Habib is number one in service. You shoul certainly avoid Standard Chartered as they are not only poor in service but also can refuse to honor cheques on very small pretex.

Abu Dhabi replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 01:00 AM PST 

Can i open forign currency account (UAE dirhams) in pakistan with bank al habib or samba bank, while staying in abu dhabi, and how?

Huzba replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 02:58 AM PST 

You have to be physically available in bank to open account in any currency and even to receive cheque and ATM card.

lahore replied on Thursday, July 19, 2012 01:24 PM PST 

Huzba u r right. I presume that Charterd Bank some how discourage the peopoe to open their foreign cuurency account in view of their not only lenghty procedure but also staff having incomple information. And when u submit your documents they raise further queries (while in the meantime expat having litte time in Paksitasn, left the county. While i tried to open my account at lahore they said that cheque book will come through post or after two week to collect my wife or daughter. Later on they told that it is obligatary to come (customer) and collect the cheque book (while i was abroad).

As a matter of fact, the daily rates are not today's opening rates, they are actually yesterday's closing rates. And yes, property exchanges work like stock exchanges, with mostly minor but sometimes major daily changes. If you gentlemen notice closely, most of the rates usually remain unchanged over many days before a slight increase or decrease. Take for example Phase 9 file, it has been hovering around between 26.25 and 26.50 for almost three weeks, with buyers sitting at around 15000 PKR lower than the seller price. It should also be kept in mind that most of these rates are for reference and once you are in a hot deal, the price is always negotiated. Furthermore, we must be grateful to this site that gives so much information and runs this magnificent blog 24 hours a day to help people like me living outside the country and everyone else, and in this process, if they make some money, so why not. It is everyone's right to make money, its simple business. So be appreciative people, and if you dont like the idea of watching property rates daily, then you should not be on this forum, with due appologies.

Withholding tax not applicable on all property transactions

Withholding tax not applicable on all property transactions

SOHAIL SARFRAZ

ISLAMABAD: The 0.5 percent adjustable withholding tax under section 236C of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 on sellers of immovable property would not be applicable on property transactions where the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is not collected under Finance Act 2012.

Sources told Business Recorder here on Sunday that the CGT on immovable property and withholding tax u/s 236C of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 on sellers of property should not be considered as two different taxes. The CGT on the immovable property is directly linked with the 0.5 percent adjustable withholding tax. This adjustable tax would only be collected in cases where the CGT on immovable property is applicable as per new law. The CGT is not applicable on property sold beyond the period of two years and the same is the case with the withholding tax under section 236C of the Ordinance 2001. Thus, the withholding tax would not be applicable on property sold beyond the period of two years as well.

Sources dispelled impression that the 0.5 percent withholding tax would be applicable on each and every property transaction. This is also wrong that it is an entirely different tax as compared to the CGT. This withholding tax would only be applicable in cases where the CGT laws are applicable as per new Finance Act.

The FBR has facilitated the general masses by only collecting the adjustable withholding tax from persons liable to pay the CGT on immovable property. There is no need to specifically mention about the period of the applicability of the withholding tax in the law as IT-5 return form would only be applicable where the CGT on immovable property is being collected. There is no collection of the withholding tax on property transactions where CGT is not applicable.

The 0.5 withholding tax is adjustable against final payment of CGT on the immovable property. The persons paying this adjustable tax would be able to get adjustment on payment of the CGT in their income tax returns. It is a facilitative measure for not imposing the 0.5 percent withholding tax on all property transactions and it has been done to develop a system to collect information about persons engaged in property transactions.

The Board had made it mandatory for the sellers of immovable property including plots, flats, buildings and agricultural land etc to submit a new application form, ie IT-5 to the registering/transferring authorities for sale/transfer of the property/land. The Board had issued IT-5 form, i.e. an application to the registering/transferring authorities for sale/transfer of immovable property.

The registering or transferring authority would have to make four copies of the IT-5 form. The original copy would be retained by the registering/transferring authority and the remaining three copies be distributed among sellers, buyers and concerned Regional Tax Office of the FBR. The last copy to the RTO would enable the FBR to know about the property transaction for the imposition of capital gain tax on the immovable property.

The registering or transferring authorities would have to ensure that withholding tax u/s 236 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 has been paid by the sellers and one copy has been sent to the Regional Tax Office concerned.

Through Finance Act, 2012, Capital Gain tax on immovable property has been introduced. The gain on sale of such property within two years of acquisition shall be taxed in the laid down manner: Where the holding period of immovable property is up to one year, the rate of tax would be 10 percent and where the holding period of property is more than one year but less than two years, the rate of tax would be five percent.

Through this amendment of Finance Act, 2012, gain on sale of immovable property becomes taxable under the head capital gain. However, immovable properties sold beyond holding period of two years would bear the character of capital assets but are not taxable.

Under Section 236C of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, any person responsible for registering or attesting transfer of any immovable property shall at the time of registering or attesting the transfer shall collect from the seller or transferor advance tax at the rate specified in Division X of Part IV of the First Schedule.

now this is called "gut feeling".on a nice sunny day pump it up to 16-31 and on a gloomy day 15-30 and make it appear as if you are on the floor of huge trading floor like stock market in front big electronic/digital screen.That's all it takes so chill every body!!

CS replied on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 10:56 AM PST 

I Still cannot understand Who are the drivers in real estate... Howthe demand vs supply increases only in one day.
Who is the authority to change rates? What are the other varients except demad and Supply.??
there is no price regulatory authority and one can be easily cheated on few lacs.
Real estate is a big market and inolves trillions rupees even the smallest transection in DHA is not less than 20 Lacs, I am afraid that the dealer may over quote me with some fancy stories because there is no system to deifne rates Everything is on Gut feeling and Estimation...
Its too messy.

MS replied on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 02:45 PM PST 

Files rates are almost like as in stock exchange.In Real Estate Investor and owner of the property purpose is to earn maximum profit.No one control or fix the rates of the particular property.there is no criteria.for example I bought a plot in phase 6 at 58 lacs in B Block after few day I bought another plot in same lane at 56 lacs.

Dear CS, kindly elaborate me that what should be criteria for the rates estimation.

I appreciate the efforts of LRE People they put to assist general public at this forum.

On July' 17 2012 you assessed the value of my Plot # 7-Y-1083 49 to 50 Lacs Appox whereas I have noticed that there is a plot on yr website
location of which is near to 7-Y-1089 and asking price is 56 lacs. I am a bit confused as if my plot 1083 is assessed less or owner of plot near 1089 is demanding high. Kindly clarify for my knowledge sake.

Thanking you in advance for yr valuable comments.
