Instalment Plots madness :),

(97017)
Monday, February 29, 2016 10:49 AM 

My office colleague just came back from Askari Bank DHA branch where there was a huge line till outside the bank for submitting forms for the lucky draw.

A person there claimed to have deposited nearly 1000 applications alone till now for the draw (for his boss).

Another person claimed to have deposited 500, with the last set of 50 in his hand which he intended to deposit today !!

Am not sure how many other such crazies have gambled on this lottery. But I think the total number of applications received against these 250 plots must have exceeded a couple of hundred thousand by now (end of application time).

With this kind of response from public, I bet DHA marketing team would be thinking about more of such lotteries in future (a large non-refundable amount like this time) to make the maximum amount of money. DHA after all is a profit making company and they are not in the business for charity. I would be extremely surprised actually, if their marketing team doesn't take cue from such kind of response for their future projects.

True as I visited Faisal Town Branch,huge rush ,and every one was applying for atkeast 2 to 3 plots.DHA will earn huge amount

Totally wrong. 1000 applications by 1 applicant, not possible on earth. This means he played a lottery of 1 Caror in hope with a hope of winning 2 or 3 plots? There is still a chance he doesn't win any plot.

Yes DHA will earn a lot of Money the body language was gambling style. High non refundable One can give as many applications of any plot as possible. Recent clarification that you can sell even paying down payment indicates that DHA was Unable to earn heacy amount. Surely these are gambler who betting on name of other [sponsor] If lost gambler will lose and if gained sponsor will give say one million and pay the installmen.

Although the locations were not good, but still I think whoever will get the plot will be able to make instant at least 20 to 40% profit

These plots were mostly useless....Triangle shaped, next to graveyard, village etc.
