zakat calculation
Dear All,

I need help calculating zakat funds, my question is if for example i have total funds of 10 lakh including gold, i bought a plot on installment for personnel use and still owe 2.5 lakh for payments, due in future for development charges, should i minus this 2.5 lakh and pay zakat on 7.5 lakh?
tzk replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 12:04 AM PST 

i think you can only deduct the loan which is "indal talab" meaning immediately payable. Long term loans are not deductable for zakat purposes. Please consult some scholar for details
Shabbir replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 12:31 AM PST 

I don't think this forum would be the best point of information for zakat. Talk to your Mullah wherever you attend your prayers.

You do not have to pay zakat on the plot or house that you bought for personal use, but if it is for investment purpose, you have to pay zakat even though the price of that house or plot is decreasing. The cash, bonds, gold or whatever you have in possession or you are getting benefits from, by using in any way, that is zakat payable.
For further information and clarification, you can consult any MUFTI who is authorized to pass a Fatwa.
abc123 replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 12:17 PM PST 

Just remember one thing - Zakat is a sort of wealth tax and not a kind of "income tax". Do your calculation based on this principle or xonsult some learned person in this regard.
saqib replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 01:56 PM PST 

Thanks HKB, the web address provided excellent info but little doubt about paying zakat on personnel uses of gold jewelry. will consult some maulvi here. anyone sure about not paying zakat on gold jewelry for personnel use please comments, thanks
BM replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 02:09 PM PST 

Zakat should be paid on Gold Jewelery, personal use or investment purpose does not matter.
Ahmad KSA replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 08:38 PM PST

Dear Brother! I think you did not read my meaasge carefully. ONLY house or plot that you bought for personal use - house that you are living in OR the plot that you buy to build a house in future and now you are in a rented house / you do not have a house to live in - these are exempted from Zakat. If you have a house to live in, and you buy a plot to build a house in future that plot is not exempted. So far as, gold in any form is zakat payable if it is in your possession - you are the owner.

You should also know that the seller can not sell it.You can not have registry in your name.You when you want can not sell it. It is given to you based on Power of Attorney. If the person selling on Power of Attorney dies, his inheritors of which you would not have any knowledge ( who and how many they are) will become the owners and you will not have any right on the property. It is very very risky deal.
Asad replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 09:00 PM PST 

for my own consumption i went to Askari X & XI because i feel one must go at the site & then invest merly on hearsay is not adviseable ,no hard feelings please but it is purely my own assessment that XI is better constructed than X and the other option i discussed was that i can out rightly purchase it no power of attorney .Please go & see for your self before making DECISION ,the prices may rise once the 1/2 km approach road is carpeted

Dear Mr. CMY & Other friend!

I want to buy a 10 marla, doubble story, 4 beds house in Lahore, preferably in DHA, Askari or i some near by good society. My Budget is 80-100 lakh.
Please inform me what is house buying procedure, what documents are required, what risks are involved for a buyer who don't have any experience of buying property of any type. How much time is required to complete the whole buying process?
Buying through property dealer is better or direct from owner (internet contact etc,). What will be approximately the price? And any other information which may be helpful for me.
Thanks & Regards
Khan
CMY replied on Monday, December 12, 2011 09:15 AM PST 

Khan bhai you can buy a house in DHA Lahore or Askari with your budget. In DHA you could buy a house in DHA 8 Preview for 80 to 90 lacs. You could buy an old 10 Marla house in this price in all most any phase. For a ten marla I would suggest you to buy in Askari 10.

Please avoid all Eden properties because I never saw any person happy with their investments in Eden.

Is it Ideal Time to buy DHA-9 1K file ?
Dear Friend:flg
The below are today's rates for 5 marla and 10 marla newly balloted plots in DHA-9

DHA Phase 9 5 marla newly balloted Installment plots sellers at 17 lacs (10 lacs plus 7 lacs Profit)

DHA Phase 9 10 marla newly balloted Installment plots sellers at 34 lacs (25 lacs plus 9 lacs Profit)

Now if 1K file is availble in 22.10 lacs don't you think it is ideal time to buy / invest in DHA-9.
What do you think :h
Ejaz Ahmad replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 04:41 PM PST 

Difficult to decide to buy DHA 9 one kanal file at 22.10 lakhs. There are two main camparative advantages in newly balloted 5 & 10 Marla plots . One that you have plot numbers on the map meaning development work has either started or will be started soon. Secondly the 50% payment of newly balloted plots is to be made in nextn3 years whereas for DHA 9 one kanal file the full payment is to made upfront. However, if ballot of DHA 9 one kanal plot is conducted soon then it is really a good buy at 22.10 lakhs.
Mustafa replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 04:54 PM PST 

Both are good investment options and I have divided my investment amongst these options. I visited DHA Town yesterday and the development work has started. The building for Director Development Phase 9 and another set of offices for FWO are underconstruction. There were two machines working on the development of the main road and you might be able to see the main road ready in the next 6 months.
The DHA Town plots will be ready in 2 years and after possesstion you could expect the rates to be higher than 5 marala plots in Phase-8 of DHA as they are currently at 22 lacs. This is because plots in Phse 8 will take another 5 years to be developed after DHA Town is ready.
DHA Phase 9 1-kanal files are long-term investments and you could expect plots ready in 10-12 years. I feel they are undervalued and the price should reach 25 lacs in next 3-6 months and than probably stagnate for a while.
Aamir replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 08:45 PM PST 

The fair amount of info available here is more than sufficient to decide, still if you can't, then its not OK for you.

Canada replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 03:19 AM PST 

I am an oversease Pakistani now a days it is very easy to misguaid us due to lack of knowledge.

Some experts/Honest property edvisors from Islamabad are requested to guaid the people.

Now a days its very hot issue all over due to advertizments on tv and news papers by RP Housing Scheme all over.

What i know this scheme launched about 4 years back and till not developed fully and whole map is changed. But this info what i get from internet only.

Detailed and brief reply from people is highly demanded.
Shabbir replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 08:14 AM PST 

Roshan Pakistan does have NOC from CDA (capital development authority).

However, if you look in to their fine print, advertised price covers only cost of land. Good news is that you will be paying this in installments. Bad news is this that you will be slapped with development charges in future. Now if economy was good and real-estate market was moving it wouldn't be much problem.

According to CDA regulations they cannot ask for new charges without CDA's approval. But this is Pakaland and everything is pretty much possible here.

@Canada: you are right this is the same scheme that was advertised few years back. Land terrain is uneven. There is some development made but very slow. They are spending tons of money on advertisement which is unbelievable.

If you ask me to put my money in Roshan Pakistan i would be looking for some better option.
jk replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 02:41 PM PST 

Rawalpindi Housing Scheme launched in 1986 and not 4 years back They have come forward with new name Correct me if I am wrong.

Now you can calculate what momentum of development they are carring ?
KSA replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 02:57 PM PST 

Any body aware about the change in map of roshan pakistan.

Is this scheme good for 10 years investment. right now rp sales 11 marla plot at 1360000+development charges(which are must be more than 400000, so after 10 years where this price for 11 marla will stands.

Please give honest reply as i am willing to buy one for my kids.
Malik M replied on Saturday, December 10, 2011 03:37 PM PST 

I live in Islamabad, visited the site last week. They have put a number of small flags besides the kaccha road leading to their site office. Development is done only on a a few streets. They have installed a few street lights on (to be) main road which they lit with generated power supply for a few hours in the night.
Site is quite far away from Rawalpindi & Islamabad. My safe guess is that this is a good long term investment oppurtunity for minimum 10 years. The land will not be suitable for construction of a house and living before around 10 years from now.

boss-sk replied on Friday, December 9, 2011 09:38 PM PST 

i havent visited recently ,,,but while buying plot check it out physicaly bcz if u dont want a basement go for leveled plot or if u want a basement then go for a deep plot ,,it wil save u 2-3 lacs.

plots on main roads n wide streets are more prefered.

nabeel e-16 replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 03:14 AM PST 

@waqas
streets i mentioned only have 1 kanal plots. if you are looking for 10 marla plot then consider only street 6 but plot wont be available in 10 lac because i sold my plot 6 month back in 12.50 lac in street 6, 10 marla all clear. you can get cheap plots in other streets but you won't be able to sell them if you buy a bad location.

@Ahmed
street 28 is new street just next to the private houses. this is street is filled with mud and there is slum. it is close to chapper and no level plots.
WAQAS replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 04:30 AM PST 

@nabeel e-16
U mean plots in street 6 (E-16/3) are all clear (no possession issues)?
The price of the plot u sold i.e. 12.50 Lacs include all charges (cost of land as well as Development charges)
nabeel e-16 replied on Sunday, December 11, 2011 05:31 AM PST 

yes all clear sold in 12.50 - there are other streets as well where there is no possession issue but street 6 is the best for 10 marla. where there is carpeted road, there is no issue of possession. i think 75% land of the sector is clear.
