To all respected plot holders
You know our hard earned money is held with DHA in the shape of cost of land and Development charges uptill now. Every one among us try level best to pay D C in time. If one fails to pay DHA imposes heavy penality. On the contrary speed of work is very slow and I am afraid DHA will not give possession in coming 5 years or more.under the prevailing situation,We all should demand from DHA that if they fail to comply their commitment, plot holders will be compensated at the same rate they impose penalty on them for as long as they keep our money. If we had to go court we should. Regards

good point, i m waiting for phase 8 possession since long, forget about phase-9 before 5 years, please go ahead,

DHA should apply rules on itself as well and pay delay penalties and compensation,

Very good point
DHA should update on development status periodically on its own
How about sending a signed letter to dha by plot holders re this

Point is quite logical but who cares. Fairness and judicious treatment on its own .....by any 'body' including DHA is impossible in Pakistan.

Good Point
This is First time DHA will pay fine in Prism, If rate is same as holders then many will recover 50% of their Plot Price.
This Shows How Innocent are Prism investors.

Please explain the ruthless society we are living in.

DHA Phase 9 was announced in 2004 and civil file holders were allocated the worst location plots in May 2015 balloting. Civil Allotees were giving 3 years to pay their development charges and at the same time Military allotees were given 20 years to pay their development charges whilst they got allocated the best plots in the lovely blocks.

Just imagine, our lovely estate agents only promote or sell military allotee plots at their desired rate.

The plots on 150 ft road are selling at the highest whilst everyone have now witnessed the new development plans defence entrance (i.e. overhead bridges, underpasses and so on). We civil investor buying these expensive plots and in future these plots will become least desirable due to heavy traffic and so on. Our agents then will say to us it was a bad buy which they now promoting.

You wish to go to THE COURT!!!! Where in USA 🇺🇸 or UK 🇬🇧.....in Pakistan 🇵🇰 GOOD LUCK MATE!!!!

Asslam a alaikum,

Sir, my request to you is kindly visit the site of Prism 9, development is going on at a very fast rate, you can also see the latest videos on our youtube channel. They will surely handover the possession of some block in next 1.5-2 years. Regarding balloting, DHA always have a fair balloting, we know a lot of our clients got a good location plot in Prism 9.

Thanks

@ brother Mubeen Asghar...it is hoped and wished what u said come true exactly. But it is reality that DHA will not fulfill its commitments in prism.Here my pray is this that DHA should pay return on the amounts they held if it fails to give possession of plot till the needful. For this a forum of some learned active stake holders be formed who can take care of our interest. In Pakistan nobody cares if one does not fight for his rights. Come forward dear friends. Regards

@syed zafar, have you ever visited prism site in last one year? I believe never. Because i visit every week as i live in askari 11. Prism is developing at a remarkable pace. This speed was never seen in any prior phases of Dha before. Bhai its easy to be a keyboard warrior but it take a little headache going to actual site. Please visit once. Ap 5 saal ki ratt chore dain ge

@Awan Bhai...ur input is very encouraging. It my point is something different. .My point is that when DHA is charging penalty on late payments if their dues, then we the petty plot holder should be compensated equally in case of delay in giving possession as per their comittments. For instance in Bahria Town Rawalpindi, the management will give me rental valued amount in case they failed to give me the possession of an Appartment I booked. Regards

Walaikum us Salam Mubeen Asghar,

Thanks for your comments and I am really pleased to hear the timescale you have suggested (and not DHA i.e. from 2004 to 20XX).

Please explain the reason DHA is asking civil allotees of all blocks to pay Development Charges within the three years. If all the blocks will not get possession at the same time. It will be extremely disappointing and specially if Blocks A, C, D, F, G and M will get the possession first.

WHY NOT 5 YEARS INSTEAD OF 3 YEARS if the possession will not be given in 3 years.

I also visit Prism regularly, the timescale is completely incorrect as it will take much longer to get electric, gas, overhead tanks, sewer and internal block roads. I estimate that the complete prism handover will happen by 2025 or later. The first possession might happen in 2020 and the every six months there on.

I think that the DHA is only enjoying its brand recognition and exploiting the civil investors. You imagine any other developers released a phase in 2004 and hand over of plots is still completely uncertain.

@well wisher.. 2004 was never the right year to enter in phase 9 but 2012 was, thus buying in 2004 and then complaining about dha management is unreasonable act.Similary phase 10 files are available since 2012(for 23 lac/kanal) but still in 2017 one should not buy phase 10 files untill you should have bought phase 5 or 6 files. See where these phases are todate.
