Surcharge on Development Charges (Prism 9),

---

Salam all,

I am oversease Pakistani and have been chasing to get intimation letter for Prism 9 since December 2015 by ringing or to raise online ticket on DHA Lahore but got update from DHA Lahore "As per feedback from our concerned branch the intimation letters with developmental charges of Phase 9 are still in postal process. You will be intimated on your mailing address which is given to DHA. Regarding due date of development charges depending upon the issuance date of the intimation letter. You may contact on the given numbers for further assistance."

Now, my brother went over to DHA Lahore and given them the copy of intimation letter of FILE with my name which I got when I bought the file and File number which initially guy printed the intimation letter and told my brother to take from him but then changed the mind said, he can't give it to my brother because he isn't owner of plot but also said intimation letter was sent in February whereas we never recieved that letter on our address and wasn't explained by dha who received that letter if intimation letter was posted by registered / courier post.
Eventually, my brother got printed Challan form with my details on it but was surprised to see, it has "Surcharge on Development Charges" on top of quarterly development charges.
My impression for DHA was positive/different to that of Clerk Badshah of LDA or government departments but realised they are not that different then the rest.

The issue is not amount of surcharge but the way they are ignorant to keep track of whom have they sent intimation letters or not. So my advice is all people who hasn't received intimation / development charges, to contact / visit DHA Lahore personally instead of ringing them as they don't care when you ring them or contact them electronically. They still love the manual way of working :) of old time.

Thanks.
