DHA Islamabad's phases along GT Road and the Expressway attract serving and retired officers, overseas Pakistanis and investors, with many plots still held for future construction. Our DHA Islamabad clients are allottees, investors and residents.
Officer Allottees
Serving and retired officers often hold DHA plots allotted through service schemes, paid in instalments over years. The total paid each year is shown in the wealth statement. Allotment letters and DHA payment records are the key documents.
Overseas Owners
A large share of DHA Islamabad plots and houses belong to Pakistanis living abroad. Non-residents with rent or sales from DHA property declare them in a Pakistani return, and filing keeps their advance tax on transfers at the lower rate.
Investors and Section 7E
Investors holding several DHA plots should check section 7E each year. Vacant plots above the aggregate value limit, without an exemption, can attract deemed income tax.
Selling a DHA Plot
Advance tax under section 236C is collected at transfer, and capital gains depend on when the plot was acquired. DHA's own transfer process runs alongside, and its records should be kept.
Getting Started
Share allotment letters, DHA payment schedules, transfer documents and any tenancy agreements. We prepare a property schedule and the return.
Construction Deadlines and Penalties
DHA schemes sometimes impose construction deadlines, with penalties or surcharges for delay. These payments add to the plot's cost and should be recorded with DHA's receipts.
Houses Let While Owners Serve Elsewhere
Officers posted outside Islamabad often let their DHA houses. Rent is declared each year, and if a property agent collects rent on the owner's behalf, the agent's statements and commission bills should be kept.
