\"DHA<\/a><\/p>\n

On March 4, 2016, the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) balloted plots in its recently launched Peshawar chapter. This balloting instantly gave way to many controversies because those who were not successful apparently started to wage a smear campaign against the authority.<\/p>\n

I have learned that people from across the country as well as abroad applied to book plots in DHA Peshawar<\/a>. However, according to the project\u2019s official Facebook page, only about 2,000 plots were allotted in the recent ballot. DHA congratulated a few winners though the Facebook page and the posts were hash-tagged \u2018#IMDHAPSW\u2019.<\/p>\n

Those who were not successful assumed that DHA had feigned the ballot process, which \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 is not true. The authority has an excellent history in real estate development and we cannot expect anything this unethical from this organisation.<\/p>\n

DHA will now send letters through courier to successful candidates after which they will have to make their down payments.<\/p>\n

Please see the table below to have an idea of the down payment and instalments to be paid by the successful plot allottees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Plot Category<\/strong><\/td>\nTotal Price<\/strong><\/td>\nDown Payment<\/strong><\/td>\n12 Quarterly Instalments<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 Kanal<\/td>\nPKR 5,500,000<\/td>\nPKR 500,000<\/td>\nPKR 417,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
10 Marla<\/td>\nPKR 2,800,000<\/td>\nPKR 250,000<\/td>\nPKR 212,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the winners fail to pay three consecutive instalments, their allotment will be cancelled and DHA will refund the paid amount after a 20% deduction.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Asmatullah Tariq of Commander Estate, DHA Peshawar spans 10,000 kanals and the project map will be unveiled sooner rather than later. Tariq is also of the view that the ballot process was not forged.<\/p>\n

You must note that Phase I of DHA Peshawar has been launched on land that has already been acquired, which means that the authority will start development work soon, InshaALLAH<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I suggest those who could not make the cut should avoid defaming the authority baselessly, as the applicants were not forced to submit applications. These are my personal views on DHA Peshawar. Please note that DHA has not paid me to write this article.<\/p>\n
