I have a 10 marla plot in bahria town Islamabad phase 3. Recently I got a notice for non-construction charges (2500 rupees per month for last two years). They want me to start construction before June 30, 2012 otherwise pay a fine of 150,000 per year. I know from other posts that BT charges 2500 per month after 3 years of possession but what is this 150,000 per year? Never heard about this. What should I do ? Anybody has experience like this.

I checked the notice again and it says "non-utilization charges". I cannot start construction by June 30, 12 and 150,000 per year is a lot of money. I am sure I am not alone with this issue. Any suggestions?

Have you got the possession of the plot and could not start the construction with in three years grace period? If so, you have to pay 2500 per month, if you did not get the possession the payment has to be 500 per month as maintenance charges but 150,000/ year is not understandable.

Bhatti Sb, Thank you for the reply. You are right, I have the posession and did not start construction in 3 years grace period. I have seen people mentioning 2500 per month charges which is ok. But this 150,000 is strange. Guess I will be calling the BT office tomorrow. Thanks again for reply.

I also got same notice. I do not have possession. I will visit BT office today or tomorrow and discuss this with their officials. It is not acceptable to pay this kind of charges for delay in construction.
