Malir in east Karachi stretches from the cantonment and airport surroundings to farmhouses and new housing schemes along the Malir river. Our clients here include cantonment residents, farm owners, airline and airport staff and property investors.
Farmhouses and Agricultural Land
Parts of Malir still have orchards, poultry farms and agricultural land. Crop income is taxed by Sindh under its agricultural income tax law and declared as exempt income in the federal return. Poultry and dairy run as commercial operations are generally business income taxed by FBR. The distinction depends on how the activity is organised.
Airport and Airline Staff
Many Malir and nearby cantonment residents work at the airport, for airlines or ground handlers. Their salary includes allowances and sometimes travel benefits, which should be shown correctly on the salary certificate.
New Housing Schemes
Investors buy plots in Malir's new schemes on booking and instalments. Every instalment is part of the investment, shown in the wealth statement until possession. Instalment schedules and receipts are the key documents, and the developer's approvals should be checked before buying.
Cantonment Property
Houses in Malir Cantonment are subject to the cantonment board's own property tax, separate from federal income tax. Keep both records.
| Client | Key record |
|---|---|
| Farm owner | Land record, sales of produce |
| Airport staff | Salary certificate with allowances |
| Plot investor | Booking letter, instalment receipts |
| Cantonment resident | Cantonment property tax receipts |
