Worked example
A 10 marla plot at Rs 2.5 million per marla in a society using 225 sq ft marlas. The plot is 2,250 sq ft. The total price is Rs 25 million, about Rs 11,111 per sq ft or Rs 50 million per kanal. A filer buyer would pay about Rs 312,500 in 236K advance tax.
Checking a plot before you pay
- File or possession: a file is only a right to a future plot; a possession plot has a demarcated location and can be built on.
- Verify ownership with the society or, for revenue land, the fard from the Punjab Land Records Authority or the provincial land record office.
- Approved schemes: check that the society is approved by the development authority; illegal schemes are common.
- Extra costs: transfer fees, advance tax, stamp duty, development charges and corner or park-facing premiums.

Why do prices differ between societies?

Is the DC rate different from market price?
Yes. FBR and DC valuation rates are often lower than market prices, but tax is charged on the higher of the two.
What is a file plot?
A plot allotment letter in a society where the plot has not yet been demarcated. It carries more risk than a possession plot.

Yes. Corner, park-facing and main boulevard plots usually cost 10% to 20% more.
How do I check the real size of a plot?
Ask for the society's site plan and demarcation, and measure on site before paying.
What is a possession plot?
A plot the society has handed over with demarcation, so construction can start.
How do I convert a price per square foot to per marla?
Multiply the price per square foot by the marla size used in your area. At Rs 11,111 per square foot and 225 square feet per marla, the price is about Rs 2.5 million per marla.
What extra costs come with buying a plot?
Transfer fees, stamp duty, registration, advance tax for filers or non-filers, development charges in new societies and agent commission can add a noticeable amount to the price.
