the story of DHA Valley scam published in local media and carried by this blog was pretty disturbing. no follow up on that is visible anywhere. the paper should have carried out some investigative research and apprise its readers on the factual position. surprisingly even DHA Isld is silent on it and so is its joint venture partner? i would suggest that that the newspaper that carried the story must now follow it up as its professional and moral duty and publish a full feature on the Scheme and the Scam. can some body meanwhile comment on the story and update on the situation on ground.

situation replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 03:48 PM PST 

Dear no positive sign , no development work , even it seemz that they dnt have a solid intension to develop this scheme,even the marked space for different blocks as shown in map is presently held by villagers in that area. yes this state is really disturbing, but what can normal ppl can do ? Salute to DHA for this faradi pan and fankari.

Irfan replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 07:10 PM PST 

My understanding is certain blocks and construction work is well on the way, infact they plan to deliver overseas block next year.

People on ground are requested to input and people with no idea who only wish to spread bad news, may be to reduce market price and buy are encouraged to stay quite

Shah replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 07:52 PM PST 

Sir,

you are requested to not to Comment about something, if you are not sure, the development work is going well..... than how can someone pass such statement without confirming or checking properly....

adeel replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 06:47 PM PST 

project is delayed but will be delivered.construction of dha homes is almost complete and will be delivered soon,problem is that people had not paid the installments. so they will redraw the plots and hand over to the ones who had paid, although some land acusition problem is also there which will be settled soon.dha is trusted institution , have a heart.there can be a delay there will be no fraud inshallah

Sleepless replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 06:52 PM PST 

All I can say is that DHAI management has really squandered any or all goodiwll it had. If they are going to act just like any other Property/Real Estate Tycoon (read Malik Riaz), than who can we trust because it seems like the military is also only interested in making money. I think the Army high command should take notice, because not only common citizen (read civilians)but many army personnel also applied in DHA Valley. It's good that someone has the courage to forward this case to NAB. I have also been thinking of filing a petition in the Supreme Court. If the developer does not meet his committments, they should pay interest on the amounts submitted because they charge interest on late payments.

The Valley replied on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 12:31 PM PST 

I agree with Sleepless. DHA used to be an extremely competent and selfless institution that was totally upright,honest and committed to its members. It would stick to the timelines and deliver far more than what it would recover and would listen to its members. in case of any delay it would explain it fully and honestly and compensate its members for any impending delay.It is only now that it is keeping in the dark and finding new ways and means to squindle them. No denying the fact that Valley is a mega project that would take time to complete. But then it should have realised it earlier and phased it out like in lahore or karachi and delivered on time.

want to invest 25 to 30 lac for short term for 1-2 years, can someone guide me good society to invest.

waqar replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 01:26 AM PST 

Mr.Waqas, thanks for reply, do you know if there are 10 M plots in F and H block and price of it. What about J and M block for 10 M are these located on good
location. I am afraid in LDA schemes as there always issues, how we can make sure that seller is geniune and no issue. really appericate your help
Thanks,

Truth replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 02:15 PM PST 

Dear waqar don;t follow waqas, you will too overwhelmed by LDA as waqas is. He is not telling u the truth. there are so many litigation issues, land-mafia, fake-
files, patwari-system, be careful.

Arshad replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 04:10 PM PST 

Unfortunately Mr Truth is not telling truth. No doubt there are some problems with public sector organizations and LDA is no exception. But you are getting benefit of these problems in the shape of lower
prices. Only few days ago LDA got vacated around 200 Kanals of land from occupants. In my opinion this is the RIGHT time to invest in LDA Ave -1. So my advise to you is visit the site, talk to peoples around and then decide it your self.

stn replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 05:17 PM PST 

Plz inform which blocks are completely problems free.

Faizan replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 09:35 PM PST 

Mr Waqas Aeshad is rite. It is good time to invest there in LDA eve-1. most of the development work is completed only few issues are there to be settled. you should visit yourself the site and then make any decision.
Mr Stn no block is problem free there LDA- eve1 how ever F,H,J,M blocks are comparatively having less problems. C block is also good block especially upper part of C block is really good and price are there little high. L and K block are not consider good because these blocks have major litigation issues. A and B blocks are also having 70% litigation problem. Recently LDA has vacated 200 kanals land from occupants near the D block. That land came under a village name nasir gung

Adnan replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 01:05 AM PST 

why don't you try phase 9
files ?
Investment around 29 lac and is going to return you 42-45 within next 2-3 years

Nasir replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 01:07 PM PST

I subcontracted the construction of my house @ a certain labour rate per Sq.ft for grey stcuture. There is a dispute on grinding of marble floor, the contractor is claiming that grinding is not included in grey structure. It is worth mentioning that grinding was part of the written contract between us but contractor takes it as a mistake on his end.

I request a fair opinion apart from the contract agreement, whether grinding of floor is part of 'grey structure'?

Further, how much height of parapet is considered in sq.ft rate?

Please reply and oblige.

Khalid replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 01:42 AM PST 

Would he be accepting any thing which was out of the written contract? If it is in the contract, he has to do it.

..... replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 03:29 AM PST 

Well grinding of marble floor is not included in the contract of grey structure labor rate generally! but since you are saying that its the part of written agreement, so your contractor is bound to provide the service to you!
Most of the contractors include just 2 ft height of parapet wall in the sq ft rate, if the parapet wall is more than 2 ft then they charge extra

AHM replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 01:48 PM PST 

Thanx Mr. ....,

It's enough to convince my self to accept his mistake since the fellow is really a figure among zero (in the world of Thekadars!

Difference between Speical and General Power of A

i want to sell a plot in Pakistan, punjab, I sent special power of attorney on my uncle name.

it was sent to foriegn affair for attestation, upon return, the local registratr is saying since it has word special on it, my uncle have to register and do intiqal of property on his name, then sell it out?

Now I am asked to sent a General POA.

My questions are

a) I thought the person whose name is POA, he cannot transfer property on his own name, so how come the registrar is claiming that property to be first registered in his own name?

b) If I give General POA, can my uncle not Sell my ALL property if he like since it has word General in it?

Should i go ahead and send General POA mentioning only that plot number, would i be secure than?

Iqbal Ch replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 07:22 PM PST 

Registrar is totally wrong. There is no need to transfer property in the name of person holding SPA. Special power of attorney itself means that the person given power of attorney is authorized to sell a particular property only. If you send General Power of Attorney, it will mean that you have authorized him to sell your other properties also. Ask your SPA holder to consult some good lawyer to "deal" with the Registrar.

Irfan replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 08:43 PM PST 

I called a lawyer in lahore, who confirmed me that if i giver general POA but mention the plot number, he / she can only sell that plot not all property? i am confused

JJJ replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 11:54 PM PST 

Irfan sahib, Be very careful, I am a Lawyer and can confirm that you could be in trouble if you give General power of Attorney, and also try to save your property now for which you have sent special power of attorney to your Uncle.
Uncle is trying to cheat you unfortunately and wanted to transfer or sell all of your property.

Irfan replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 03:37 AM PST 

JJJ thanks for feedback, some lawyer are stating if I place plot number on general than he can only sell that plot but not all my property

JJJ replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 09:00 PM PST 

General POA is specifically for the General purposes, yes you can mention plot number but legally General POA will not restrict the authority of that person to deal with that specific plot. If POA restrict the authority for a specific purpose then it's not a General POA but a Special POA.
Hope you will understand. I will suggest you to visit Pakistan personally without informing anyone and settle your deals yourself or you can involve LRE in-between (at-least they can take a draft on your name can deposit into your account), A 1% commission can save you and your interests which is not a bad deal.

Jameel replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 06:06 AM PST 

There is huge difference in general power attorney and special, General covers every thing and person acts on you behalf, where as special is for specific task, Like to get rent of house to sell specific property of to represent you in court. When writing special attorney you can clearly specify that this man is authorized to do this this act and sometimes it is also mentioned he is not authorized to do any other act beyond this domain.

Most of reputed societies don't transfer plots on power of attorney, same is true with LDA, however Patwar Khana system still honors this. In past power of attorney had been main cause of property disputes, as ownership cant be verified. And many had been fake in past.

Irfan replied on Monday, May 7, 2012 01:43 PM PST 

Thanks Jameel

In my case on my speical POA, I have indicated the this is for sale purposes but Patwar Khana is still giving me hard time and asking to do General.
If i do General and mention that plot number only on it, would this limit the sale to only that property?

Asim replied on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 09:14 PM PST 

A special power of attorney is for purposes like Litigation, Rent etc but not for sale of property. It can be made in presence of 2 witnesses on a Stamp paper at any Notary Public Advocate....

On the other hand a GPA is registered with a govt registrar in only 2 places in Pakistan...
1. The District of the property or
2. The district of the home address of the owner....
It requires a Latest Fard(not older than 15 days) mentioning (Mukhtar Nama Aam) from the Patwari of the area of the property and then the GPA is to registered in presence of the witnesses with the concerned Tehsildar. He will tell you that; your attorney may sell this property on your behalf. The GPA is only for that property which is mentioned and for which ownership proof(FARD) is attached and not for your entire property...If abroad, a GPA can be made from the Embassy of PAk and has to be attested from the Min of Foreign Affairs in Isb...Good Luck!!!

Import of solar water heater

Dear brothers,

I plan to import solar water heater for my personal use and if it proves good, I can import more for business.

This unit shall cost around Dh 10 K plus shipmnet charges from Dubai.

I need to know if it is subject to any tax or free as it is solar?

I request your input.

Kind Regards

Irfan replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 05:48 PM PST 

I heard solar power have not duty but try to check online

10 K is 2.5 Lack, you can probably get cheaper in Pakistan?

owais replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 10:58 PM PST 

Dear Irfan,

Thanks but what is link on line to check duty if you kindly advise.

I doubt if back home, one unit can generate good heat to supply water for 6 washrooms and that too directly to Taps with out use of any geyser or its gas.

Learned comments are requested.

Naveed Yaseen replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 04:59 PM PST 

Solar water heaters are available for sale in big cities of Pakistan, at least in Lahore. Your best option may be to buy local or alternatively build one. Its not too difficult to build. Lots of simple plans available on internet.

If you import through proper route then as a tribute to your efforts to seek independence from oil mafia you would be slashed with custom duty, sales tax and withholding tax summing upto 60% of purchase price plus shipping.

One legal but complex route is to import under Free Trade Agreement with China. You would need origin certificate for reduced custom duty but would still have to pay sales and withholding taxes.

Owais replied on Sunday, May 6, 2012 07:34 PM PST 

Many thanks Naveed Yaseen Sahib.

DHA5 extension

Hi
I just like to know that the price i pay for the DHA5 about 40Lakh and now i have to pay about 15Lakh more so you all think that it will be close to get the money or make any profit and what it will the price when it developed in five or more yrs is it worth it to keep or just sell it and buy a house so i can get income please need some advice Babar.

Dha 5 ext replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 07:19 AM PST 

Babar
Due to the close proximity of askar 11,ring road and being a part of phase 5, it is my understanding that the price will be 70 to 90 lacs in a year time ,once the ground breaking / development starts. Dha is under pressure due to askari 11 to start development as soon as possible .further dha is acquiring the land around to accommodate few more
files and proposed asakari 12 project.
Don't sell hold your plot
Don't worry about high development charges. Your plot is and will be valued high in short time
