If it is not an approved society then it is an area under registrar [patwar Khana] No tax means no Tax in Form of CVT and stamp duty that is correct,
As per rules any of your attorney can transfer the plot in your name. But he should be a trustworthy person. He will act on your behalf and sign the deal. It will a difficult procedure and will have your name but your attorney's signature on registry. For this you will have to make Mukhtar Nama Khas from Embassy stating that this attorney is only authorized to Make purchase in my name [nothing else]
Other illegal option is to get papers signed by yourself by courier, and get a lawyer/agent to complete the deal. It will carry your signature on Registry but will also [illegally] show that you appeared in front of Magistrate. This can be challenged by anyone in future to prove that you were actually not there in that time.

I myself will never advise to do deal like this best thing can be do good amount of Biana and get the things done by yourself when you can reach Pakistan.
Last advice is never get it transferred to any one else whom you not intend to gift the property forever, no matter how good the deal is.

Mr.Jameel Sahab,

Jazzak Allah and thanks a lot for guide.

My brother is dealing all this and he is like my father and I can fully trust him.

He is paying advance and in few days he will pay full payment and seller will sign on the registry and I will be there in 2-3 months then i will tranfer it to my name, do you see any issue on that?

It is house not plot.

property tax is not related to Taxes at time of transfer, usually 5 Merla house Does not have property tax unless rented or used or located in commercial area, normally it is Nominal and in good area it just 2 thousands for 10 Merla per year.
For registry type area it is difficult to verify loan, One have to deposit original registry in Bank to get loan, and Bank Inform the registrar office that there is loan on the property. As Patwar Khana system is full of corruption so one can pay some thousands to Patwari not to disclose this information.
In this case it is very Important to recognize and understand original registry. If it is duplicate or called Naqal which every owner can request from Court then it is advisable not to do deal. So it is very important to understand papers.
In regulated society you pay major amount in front of transfer officer in form of Pay order, The Transfer officer's Job is to get the File of Property and study it then see and verify the Originality of Papers of seller and recognize seller in person by ID. when these things are done then you can give Pay order, These officers are expert and reliable so chances of deception are less.
In case of Patwar Khana the actual transfer takes place months after payment. The Court Registry does not verify originality of seller or his documents, neither Court have previous record. A Max they ask for Fard which is proof of ownership.
I dont know why you are doubting about loan if there is news like this it leaks

Thanks Mr.Jameel, This my first purchase in life and worried.
I think they have original Registry so if it is original then there is no chance for loan against property.
Thanks a lot.
