The processing fee on the form is PKR 20,000, non-refundable. Instalment figures are the balance divided evenly by the number of quarters; DHA’s schedule may round differently by a few rupees. The calculator adds the category premium and tax on top for any combination.
Where the 1 Kanal plots are
1 Kanal plots are in ME-2 and ME-3 and Lake District. DHA has not published how many 1 Kanal plots each block holds, so we do not either. The scheme-wide count is 2,647, from the environmental assessment — the only document that prints a denominator.

The price you actually pay is higher than the table
Category premium (clause 13). A corner, boulevard or park-facing plot carries 10% on top; a plot with more than one such attribute carries a maximum of 15%. On the lump-sum price that is PKR 7,287,688 or PKR 10,931,531. The form does not tell you your category before the draw.
Buyer’s advance tax (236K). Flat 1.5% for filers in 2026-27 — about PKR 1,093,153 if applied to the lump-sum price. The seller’s 236C is 2.75%, about PKR 2,004,114. Both are collected at transfer and adjusted against your income tax; both depend on your Active Taxpayer status on the day.
Tax rates: read this before you rely on a number.
Advance-tax rates under sections 236C and 236K move with each Finance Act and can be changed by SRO between budgets. The figures below are what we read on the dates shown. Confirm the rate that applies on the day your transfer is actually executed — not the day you agree the price. Your filer status on the Active Taxpayers List at that moment is what the rate is charged against.
Rates on this site were read on 9 September 2026. See taxes & charges for the full working, and confirm on fbr.gov.pk or with your own tax adviser on the day of transfer.
Resale: what a 1 Kanal file trades for
These are the figures buyers ask for, and they are dealer-claimed, not DHA’s. They come from a third-party marketing site (Souq al’Ard (Pvt) Ltd, margallaenclavedha.com), read 9 September 2026 — not a DHA document. Treat them as the range a seller will open with, not as a valuation.
| Item | Figure | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Premium on a 2nd-ballot file | PKR 2.5 – 3.5 Crore | dealer-claimed |
| Premium on a 1st-ballot file | PKR 3 – 4 Crore | dealer-claimed |
| Transfer charges | PKR 191,000 + PKR 5,000 transfer-set fee | dealer-claimed, no DHA circular found |
| DC (FBR) valuation quoted | PKR 27,500,000 | dealer-claimed, not checked against FBR’s table |
A “file” and an allotted plot are different things under clause 8 of the form — only a lump-sum payer receives an allotment letter, everyone else holds intimation rights until paid up. Read that before you pay a premium.
How the 1 Kanal price has moved
At launch in January 2025 the lump-sum price was PKR 56,000,000. On the 3rd-ballot form it is PKR 72,876,875 — a rise of roughly 30% in nineteen months, on DHA’s own price list, before any dealer premium. Launch to 3rd ballot, every round.
Who a 1 Kanal plot suits
The only size with a delivered-possession record: selected ME-2 streets were handed over on 21 May 2026. ME-3 is the same product without that record, and the Lake District adds a premium for a lake that is planned, not built. The 1 Kanal decision is therefore really a block decision — read the three side by side.
