One Central DHA Added to FBR Valuation List
The FBR has also introduced a new valuation category for One Central DHA, setting the residential plot valuation at Rs. 760,000 per marla and commercial plot valuation at Rs. 1,100,000 per marla. This addition reflects the growing importance of mixed-use commercial developments within DHA Lahore.
Impact on Property Buyers and Investors
Real estate experts believe that the revised valuation rates may influence transaction costs, advance tax calculations, and capital gains tax assessments for property buyers and sellers. Areas with higher valuation benchmarks, particularly DHA Phase VI, Phase VIII Commercial Areas, and DHA Phase IX Town, could experience increased tax obligations during property transfers.
However, the revised rates also indicate the strong market demand and premium status of these locations within Lahore’s real estate sector. Investors are expected to closely monitor the impact of these valuations on future property transactions and market activity.
Conclusion
The latest FBR notification introduces significant updates to official property valuations across DHA Lahore and related sectors. Property owners, investors, and real estate professionals should review the new rates carefully before planning any sale, purchase, or transfer transactions. The revised valuation framework is expected to play an important role in determining tax liabilities and property market trends throughout 2026.
