DHA Islamabad transfer fee and taxes

Transferring a plot or house in DHA Islamabad means paying DHA transfer dues and government taxes on top of the price. Who pays what depends on the phase, the plot size and type, and whether each party is on the FBR Active Taxpayers List (a filer). Use the calculator below for an estimate, then confirm the figures with us before you pay.

What the seller and buyer pay

Our transfer fee sheets split the charges between the two sides:

• Seller: any outstanding dues on the plot, any DHA dues, and the tax on sale (gain tax under section 236C), worked out on the DC value.
• Buyer: any outstanding purchaser dues, DHA transfer dues, advance tax on purchase (section 236K) on the DC value, and stamp duty where it applies.

Tax rates are set in each year’s budget and differ for filers and non-filers, so a sheet from one year will not match the next. See our insights for budget and FBR rate updates.

The transfer process

1. File verification. Confirm the file or allotment with DHA before any money changes hands.
2. NDC application. The seller applies for a No Demand Certificate, which confirms there are no outstanding dues. The request form is in our property documents library.
3. Biometric transfer. Buyer and seller attend DHA, pay the dues and taxes, and complete the transfer biometrically.

Every case has its own details. For help with a transfer, call or WhatsApp +92 321 521 1097, or read our buyer advisory.
