DHA City balloting for allotment of plots

by Mansoor Ehsan on October 30, 2009

Since we have lots of readers who are interested in real estate in Pakistan; I thought this news would be interesting. DHA City Karachi balloting was scheduled to be held yesterday that has been postponed due to an inevitable bug in DHA’s database system. Oww that’s bad luck!

The news release on DHA’s site says Secretary DHA regretted and apologized to the participants for the inconvenience. He said that due to an accidental technical bug in the database for balloting the computerized software system collapsed and despite all efforts could not be restored on time. This This actually led to postponement of DHA City Balloting.

DHA has announced that the balloting for DHA City plots allotment would be held on 5 Nov’ 09 at 1100 Hours at the Defence Authority Country & Golf Club, DHA Phase-VIII, Karachi. We, here at Pro-Pakistan will try to publish the results on the balloting day so do check back on 5th of Nov.

To check the results of DHA City balloting  click here.  However, you can share your concerns and other information here as we try our best to provide you with the latest information about DHA City Karachi

The ’search page’ for ballot results on the DHA website does not work. I have been trying for last 4 days. Once you enter the CNIC/NICOP number in the box and hit search nothing happens. Has any one on this forum got the results through that search page???

I have been calling the DHA office and no one answers the phone. I live abroad and need to find out if there is any other way for me to find out the results??

Thanks

Attn:Dr.Shah—-since last 30-years Dha-phase-8 is still undeveloped,under ground saline water is the biggest danger persist which erodes foundations of worth than million some time billion price homes in all the phases of Dha.Don’t show false dreams to innocent people,how do you expect that Dha City prices will be shoot like rocket,figure out the location of Dha City,day to day disturbances,lack of electricity & water in near future.Only the black money may invested in property, once your stock market gets stable every thing else will come down,learn some lessons from Dubai real state.Be careful it is organized scam.If you have money don’t block it,Invest in cottage Industry.

the actual price of plots at current date with actual buyers will flucuate in between:
if whole payment is paid of plots and is all clear.Total expected price in caparision with all thw well developed societies in khi & lahore.

200 resedential 25-30Lac
300 resedential 35-40 Lac
500 resedential 50-55 Lac

Ballot plots need to minus the installaion. say in 300 sq.yards case,around 11 Lac 50 thousand should be minus from 35 Lac will give around 20-22 Lac as the negotiation fits.

in 200sq.yards case,around 9 Lac 50 thousand should be minus from 25 Lac will give around 16-17 Lac as the negotiation fits.

even u r in hurry, please do not go below than the normal standard by any of the estate agent.

89 USMAN Hashmani 12.22.09 at 10:11 am

It looks very comfortable & honour to have a name in lucky draw but actual problem will start when you guys go for paying Installments or when you want to sell your plots and Real state agents start playing their games.

90 USMAN Hashmani 12.22.09 at 10:16 am

In adjoining socities like Gulshan-e Rehman,Gulshan-e Raheem & gulshan-e Karim you can easily buy a 200sq yd. leased plot with good location only for Rs.2-lakh ,I don’t understand why people spend their hard earned money in sand & Cement.

91 USMAN Hashmani 12.22.09 at 10:25 am

Check the Upset Market of DHA -Islamabad Overseas valley,people are panic to get their money back as early as possible without making any profit,who can hold the property for 10-years.

95 USMAN Hashmani 12.29.09 at 5:51 am

Check Out “Al-Qaim” housing society located in front of Dha City,facing Super highway,they just started booking from 20,000/- down,they have lot of cheap & safe plots,this society has its own water filter plant,solar energy plant plus own transportation,coming days for karachi are not favourable so plz. before you invest such big amount of money any where else think twice,also you can’t stop pak. Ruppee from devaluate,lot of risk is involved.Final decision is Yours.

98 USMAN Hashmani 01.02.10 at 3:59 am

Be careful Guys,Karachi future is not so golden as “Nazim-Ekarachi” wants to see us.There are at least 5-types of different groups are involved to keep control of karachi.Almost every party shows solidarity & sympathy on recent accident at karachi accept one.Is this act done to pressurize & stop the new rule of municipality to replace “Nazim” & appoint Administrator?Why fire trucks were 2-hrs late at scene,while it is only 10-minutes away.There was no retaliation seen from paramilitary forces after blast while 2-groups,one of them was busy in cutting the Locks &shutters by using special tools,the other one back up & protect them by firing indiscrimnately.

99 Hamza 01.02.10 at 10:00 am

Hi Guys,

I am intrested in buying a plot either 300 or 500 sq yards , put i am not in a position of paying a lumsum aomunt, so i am just wondering if somebody want’s to sell the file, that’s fair enough if you want to make a profit on the file, as you guys deserve it, but is there any way i can just buy the file and continue to pay the money in the form of Installments to DHA.

I have read all comments that posted here. Some are sensible and some are irresponsible.

DHA has a name and reputation in Pakistan to provide good quality and high standard in real estate and housing industries. You can not compare DHA with other societies as mentioned above. Believe, most of our overseas Pakistanis have taken keen interest in this scheme and they want safe and secure investment in Pakistan, where corruption is common. If anyone don’t know about DHA, he/she may research on the Internet. In this blog, most of the people seem panic to get status of balloting result and post ballotting results. Pl. visit DHA karachi website http://www.dhakarachi.org/about_dhacity.asp to get all info related to ballot result or post ballot FAQs. For current market rate, pl. visit http://www.zameen.com (as mentioned above)

116 Abdul Moiz 01.21.10 at 7:48 am

@ Hameed

As u quoted: “DHA has a name and reputation in Pakistan to provide good quality and high standard in real estate and housing industries. ”

1) So far, DHA has shown complete unprofessional ism. There is no acknowledgment so far by DHA that so and so has won in the balloting. They said, letters will be sent out after Eid. Now, it is by Feb 15th, 2010.

2) Regarding the membership fees. They posted the payment schedule for overseas Pakistanis 2-3 days back and ask us to pay it by January 31st, 2010. WHEREAS, in the FAQ section it says, a package will be sent, fill out the membership form, get it attested by the Pak Embassy and send the form ALONG with the demand draft.

So, should I pay the fee by Jan 31st, 2010 as mentioned in the schedule or should i wait for the application package to arrive which might arrive after January 31st, 2010. IT IS INDEED CONFUSING.

3) Nothing has been mentioned about where the draft has to be couriered and whom it is payable to. It just talks about the amount and the late payment fees etc. And the DHA CITY MEMBERSHIP form is not even online for download.

This is complete unprofessional. Atleast, an email might have helped.

As u said, to see the website. It does not help a lot.

117 aisha 01.21.10 at 10:27 am

I agree with u , even their exchang is so busy , it is so hectic to call them they hv no proper software which they help customer to acknowledge about the status and tracking of customer letter delivery . They have all on manual basis file system that they search all customer complaint on the file papers.They said wait for 5 minutes i m searching in the file then they said oh its too long list where i can found your record ???? its very time taking to us and call charges off course.plz DHA take action about computerize system which give us proper conviniance and satisfaction , leave the old system.we are in 20th century…….!!!!!!!where all the fund is going of membership.Its mean they develope phase 9 about 30-40 years after my death.
TCS courier service doing good job and very fast service they provide tracking number which gives us full information from dispatch to delivery but it is the duty of DHA city to provide us tracking number on their website but alas they didn’t coz they have no any computerized system from which we check our letter tracking .

118 USMAN Hashmani 01.21.10 at 11:15 am

@Tariq Brother–sorry for late response,as you asked about authenticity & past record of “Al-Qaim City”,I’m totally unware about their back ground check ,BUT i can assure you about the projects like Gulshane-Rehman, gulshaneRahim & gulshaneKarim,the owners are local people and have their inherited land & are in this bussiness from long time,one of my teacher recomended them.Plz keep in mind, 2-things in our country have high value ” Zameen & Kameen “.If you deal with later who has “Zameen” than Allah Hafiz.I have lot of true stories about people involved in this bussiness but some people don’t want to get experience or don’t want to listen from my sweat experience therefore I will try to hold my self, how long I don’t know.

119 Sajid Khan 01.21.10 at 11:58 am

For those who are concerned about not getting a reply from DHA and/or have not received confirmation letter…Here is my correspondence and a reply I got from DHA today. Hope this will help you guy
==========================================================
Hello,

I won a 1000 sq yd plot in recent balloting but still have not received a confirmation letter or the membership form. I am living in Toronto Canada.

I saw on DHA website a payment schedule which indicates that the last day to make payment for membership fee is January 30, 2010. Today is January 20th and I am still waiting for confirmation letter and membership form.

Can anyone from DHA confirm what is happening here? What is the reason for delay? How am I supposed to send membership payment when I have not received the confirmation/membership form? Am I responsible to pay interest or late fee for not sending payment by January 30th?

Note details of my plot and receipt# below.
I would appreciate a reply from DHA at an earliest.

Regards,

120 Hameed 01.21.10 at 6:11 pm

Sajid Khan, Thank you for providing updates that would help to those who are very much confused and concerned about their plots.

@Abdul Moiz and Aisha. Everybody has a right to criticize in a positive manner, which plays a big role for betterment, and there is always a room for improvement. I think your criticism about the way of DHA communication is right. They must improve their communication media by latest technologies, such as creating web portal, so all their members can view their info, updates, and make safe online payment , that would help inland and specifically Overseas Pakistanis to send their dues on time.
Guys, who have invested thier money in DHA city is a long term investment. I believe you would get good return definately in near future.
By giving negative criticism would not harm anything to DHA, but definately help to those real estate brokers who would try to buy plots from scary and panic people and make money later on by manipulating prices in the open market.

121 Sam 01.21.10 at 9:15 pm

Hello Everyone,

I have a 200 sq yard plot in DHA City that I am interested interested in selling.

If you or anyone you know are interested in purchasing it, please send me an email at rogerli228@gmail.com.

Thanks for your time !

122 Abdul Moiz 01.22.10 at 1:40 am

@Hameed .

Bro, I never meant to criticize DHA. If i had to criticize, I would have never been a part of DHA City. BUT, atleast they can be a little for professional in their reponse. I am not saying them to arrange online payments or anything like that. The only request is to atleast make sure ke whatever they are posting on their website in consistent in the information provided.

Like for instance, the payment schedule and the FAQ reply. They conflict and there is no consistency.

I have a plot in Hawksbay scheme as well and their representatives are organized and they are very prompt in replying either by email or telephone. It’s been a very good experience with them as compared to DHA.

The whole point is here to show professionalism, so that people can put their trust in and invest in Pakistan. Bcuz, people outside Pakistan do no trust investing in plots / lands etc. And this kind of unprofessional ism adds more to it.

123 Hameed 01.22.10 at 5:50 am

Abdul Moiz, Yes, I do agree and that’s why I seconded you and suggested that they should improve their correspondence and communication to facilitate and to provide comfort to their members.

124 Aisha 01.22.10 at 6:11 am

Hameed uncle thanx for interest to solve our problem ,
plz start chat online with the members,
we hope the new DHA city will be the city of 21st century ,

Thanx

127 Abdul Moiz 01.23.10 at 3:09 am

A friend of mine called DHA and he spoke with one of their representatives. According to him, the deadline has been extended till march 31st, 2010 for the membership fees (Overseas Pakistani) . And he was like to wait for documents to arrive and then fill them out and the demand draft. And the website will be updated in due time .

Now, this is what i heard from the friend. So, i am gonna wait for the docs to arrive first.

128 aisha 01.24.10 at 4:00 am

HI,
I call u today DHA for tracking my letter they pose a positive attitude and communication later they call me back after 1 an hour and said your letter has not been issue yet , thanx improve communication skill but also i wanna give u suggetion that u must creat a web portal soon.i m not critisize i just wanna give u suggetion.thanx.

129 aisha 01.24.10 at 4:11 am

Hi, it is difficult for women to go bank for making draft is it possible that we can transfer our installment by internet banking transfer money ,regularly .thanxs.

130 Samina_DHA 01.28.10 at 10:54 am

*** Even u r in hurry, please do not go below than the normal standard in DHA ***

the actual price of plots at current date with actual buyers will flucuate in between:
if whole payment is paid of plots and is all clear.Total expected price in caparision with all thw well developed societies in khi & lahore.

200 resedential 25-30Lac
300 resedential 35-40 Lac
500 resedential 50-55 Lac

Ballot plots need to minus the installaion. say in 300 sq.yards case,around 11 Lac 50 thousand should be minus from 35 Lac will give around 20-22 Lac as the negotiation fits.

in 200sq.yards case,around 9 Lac 50 thousand should be minus from 25 Lac will give around 16-17 Lac as the negotiation fits.

even u r in hurry, please do not go below than the normal standard by any of the estate agent.
Regards/
Samina(Dha2 karachi )

131 Asif 01.29.10 at 3:51 pm

Hello Samina

How did you come up with these expected prices ?

Thanks

132 USMAN Hashmani 02.01.10 at 7:06 am

Brother Asif is quite right in his querry about imaginary esclation in price by Samina Estates_dha,who never bother to provide their contact # to possible sellers to get Max. profit of their investments.

133 shahzad 02.02.10 at 11:21 am

The point is this should we sell our plot in 2/3 lac ??? if somebody sameena or some1 else , is giving us the expected price we should not pass comment on it, but think market is not so much bad in DHA . we should wait for some goood offer to come as Defence standard.

134 M.Toor 02.02.10 at 4:04 pm

Well that is a legitimate question by Asif!!
Samina, what is your source for quoting these prices? Are you in real estate business yourself?
The reason I want to to verify your source because I have asked a relative to inquire from a few reputable real estate agencies in Karachi about possible buying/selling of DHA city plots. My relative finds out that those agencies are currently not interested in discussing DHA city plots.
So the question remains do you have a reliable source for the prices you mentioned?

Toor

135 USMAN Hashmani 02.03.10 at 10:55 am

Repeatedley, I have passed my views & comments indirectly about future of DHA city,for SURE those are my personal views.I just want to tell my freinds that first check its Location,I mean check its neighbourhood,Is it worth to block such big amount for at least 10-15 years.Adjoining socities like Quetta town is much cheaper if you want to build your house there.Only positive point ,you can hold a plot there without fear of encroachment.Nowadays you can see whats going in the city thats the war of Land grabbing & in next stage completely wipe out public transport from the street.Does’nt matter you agree or NOT.
