The processing fee on the form is PKR 10,000, 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 5 Marla plots are
5 Marla plots are in ME-1 and ME-4. DHA has not published how many 5 Marla plots each block holds, so we do not either. The scheme-wide count is 1,709, 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 2,143,438 or PKR 3,215,156. 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 321,516 if applied to the lump-sum price. The seller’s 236C is 2.75%, about PKR 589,445. 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 5 Marla 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 80 Lakh – 90 Lakh | dealer-claimed |
| Premium on a 1st-ballot file | PKR 90 Lakh – 1 Crore | dealer-claimed |
| Transfer charges | PKR 77,000 + PKR 5,000 transfer-set fee | dealer-claimed, no DHA circular found |
| DC (FBR) valuation quoted | PKR 6,900,000 | 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 5 Marla price has moved
At launch in January 2025 the lump-sum price was PKR 15,500,000. On the 3rd-ballot form it is PKR 21,434,375 — a rise of roughly 38% in nineteen months, on DHA’s own price list, before any dealer premium. Launch to 3rd ballot, every round.
Who a 5 Marla plot suits
The smallest entry price in the scheme, and the size most people build on rather than trade. Both blocks that carry it are small-plot blocks, which historically build out faster than Kanal blocks because more owners are building for themselves. The counter-argument is that 1,709 is the smallest count of any size, so “scarce” is at least arithmetically true here.
