According to Gohar, the scheme should not be time-bound, as it will take some time for investors to start investing in the property sector once again, after seeing a halt in trade activity for several months.<\/p>\n<p>He also requested FBR to start awareness campaigns regarding the amnesty scheme, as investors have serious concerns and reservations about it. Gohar is of the view that since property rates suggested in the FBR valuation tables are five times higher than the DC rates, the percentage rise in the property transaction volume seen after the announcement of the amnesty scheme isn\u2019t as high as it was expected to be.<\/p>\n<p>While the departments concerned have invited suggestions for the Budget 2017-18, we expect to see a revision in the FBR valuation tables.
