How to Apply — 3rd Balloting

  1. Choose plot type, size and payment plan. One application form is valid for one plot booking only. There is no limit on how many applications you may submit.
  2. Pay the processing fee (non-refundable, non-adjustable and non-transferable) for the size you are applying for — see the tables above.
  3. Pay by any approved channel: Pay Order or Demand Draft in favour of "Margalla Enclave" (NTN # F907422-6), online via KUICKPAY, or over the counter (OTC) at any Askari Bank branch using the challan generated from the DHA website.
  4. Attach your documents: copy of CNIC (resident Pakistanis) or NICOP plus passport copy (overseas Pakistanis).
  5. Submit before the deadline — 4th September 2026.
  6. Balloting: allotment is done through a transparent computerized ballot system.
  7. Ballot result: communicated by email to the address you provide, uploaded on the official DHAI website, and a hard copy is posted to your mailing address. Make sure your contact details are correct.
  8. Booking payment within 30 days of the ballot date: 100% of the sale price for Lump Sum, or 20% down payment for the 1, 2 or 3 Year plans, along with applicable DHA charges and government taxes. Missing this deadline results in automatic cancellation and forfeiture of the processing fee.
  9. Intimation Letter is issued once the lump sum or down payment plus all charges and taxes are received. Lump Sum applicants are issued the Allotment Letter (title document) directly.

Important Terms to Know Before You Apply

Payment Plan Is Fixed

The plan you tick on the application form cannot be changed afterwards. Decide between lump sum, 1, 2 or 3 years before you submit.

Premium Categories

Corner, boulevard and park-facing plots carry a premium — typically 10% for a single category, capped at 15% combined where a plot qualifies under more than one. The category is decided by the Management.

Transfer of Intimation

Transfer is allowed once 20% has been paid (100% for Lump Sum), plus applicable DHA charges and government taxes. The remaining installment plan carries forward to the new purchaser.

Default and Cancellation

Missing two consecutive installments — or the final one by more than four months — triggers a 30-day formal notice. After that the allotment may be cancelled, with a penalty charged on the overdue amount.

Refund on Cancellation

20% of the total deposited amount is deducted as administrative and processing charges. DHA charges and government taxes already deposited are not refundable. Refunds are processed within 120 business days.

Possession

Possession is handed over for construction only after the Management announces it, the price, dues and taxes are paid in full, and your building design is approved.

Earlier Balloting — Reference Prices

About DHA Margalla Enclave

A CDA & DHA Joint Venture — Islamabad's Most Credible Housing Project

DHA Margalla Enclave is a landmark housing society jointly developed by Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Islamabad and Capital Development Authority (CDA). This rare government-to-government partnership guarantees full legal standing, transparent balloting, and long-term value for every investor and homeowner.

The society sits in CDA Zone 4, Islamabad, along Main Jinnah Avenue (formerly Kuri Road) — a 300-foot wide boulevard that connects directly to Park Road and the wider Islamabad road network. The total project area spans over 10,000 Kanals on both sides of this avenue, making it one of the largest planned communities in the capital.

DHA Margalla Enclave holds a CDA-issued NOC (No Objection Certificate), confirming compliance with Islamabad's land acquisition laws, environmental standards, and urban planning codes. No other comparable project in the area offers this dual-authority guarantee.

Society Blocks & Layout

The master plan is organized into five major zones, each with its own residential, commercial, and recreational components:

  • ME-1 Block: 5 Marla and 10 Marla residential plots. Commercial strips on main boulevard. First block closest to the main entrance.
  • ME-2 Block: 1 Kanal residential plots exclusively. Premium large plots with designated commercial parcels on arterial roads.
  • ME-3 Block: 1 Kanal residential plots with main road commercial zones. Scenic section backing onto green reserve areas.
  • ME-4 Block: 5 Marla and 10 Marla residential plots alongside commercial plots. Similar layout to ME-1 on the opposite end of the society.
  • Lake District: 1 Kanal residential plots set around the centrepiece of Margalla Enclave — a natural scenic lake surrounded by commercial plots, recreational facilities, a planned hotel, community centre, jogging tracks, and landscaped parks. The lake has potential for dancing water fountains, making it a lifestyle destination within the society.

Every block features wide carpeted internal roads, underground utilities (electricity, water, sewerage), green belts, dedicated parking zones, mosques, and community parks. Schools, healthcare centres, and shopping areas are planned within each sector.

Plot Categories Available

Within each block, buyers can choose from standard residential plots or premium categories that command higher resale value:

  • Standard Plots — Regular residential plots facing internal roads
  • Corner Plots — Extra-wide frontage on two sides; carry premium of 10–15%
  • Boulevard-Facing Plots — Direct frontage on main 300-foot Jinnah Avenue
  • Park-Facing Plots — Front view of green parks or open spaces

Location & Accessibility

DHA Margalla Enclave is located in CDA Zone 4, Islamabad, on Main Jinnah Avenue (formerly Kuri Road) — a 300-foot wide primary boulevard in the capital. The project shares its surroundings with Bahria Enclave, Park View City, and Park Enclave, all of which benefit from the same exceptional connectivity. Its proximity to Margalla Hills adds scenic beauty and a cooler microclimate compared to central Islamabad sectors.

Why Invest in DHA Margalla Enclave?

DHA Margalla Enclave is widely regarded as one of the strongest real estate investment opportunities in Pakistan as of 2025–2026. Here is why investors and homebuyers consistently choose this project:

CDA + DHA Joint Venture — Unmatched Legal Security

Unlike any other housing society in Islamabad, Margalla Enclave is backed by both DHA and CDA simultaneously. This dual-authority guarantee means your investment is protected by two of Pakistan's most credible institutions. The CDA-issued NOC ensures full regulatory compliance with Islamabad's urban planning laws.

Prime Location with Margalla Hills Views

Located in CDA Zone 4, near the Margalla Hills National Park, residents enjoy a serene, green environment while being just minutes from Park Road and central Islamabad. The location is comparable to — and in some respects superior to — neighbouring Park View City and Bahria Enclave.

Proven and Rapid Capital Appreciation

Second balloting (December 2025) plots already show resale profits of PKR 8M–9M (5 Marla), PKR 14M–15M (10 Marla), and PKR 25M–35M (1 Kanal) — within months of allotment. First balloting plots (April 2025) show even stronger premiums (PKR 9M–10M / 15M–17M / 30M–40M). Early entry investors are already sitting on significant returns.

Flexible Payment Plans for Every Budget

With quarterly installment options spread over 1, 2, or 3 years, investors can manage cash flow without financial strain. In the 3rd Balloting the 5 Marla 3-year plan works out to roughly PKR 1,666,667 per quarter after the 20% down payment — accessible to a wide range of investors including overseas Pakistanis.

Overseas Pakistani Friendly

DHA Margalla Enclave is fully accessible to overseas Pakistanis. The transparent online application, official allotment letters, and DHA's secure transfer process make it a preferred choice for Pakistanis in the UAE, UK, Saudi Arabia, USA, Canada, and Australia.

Tax Advantage: Taxes Apply to Plot Price Only — Not Profit

A critical advantage over many competing projects: the 1.5% Advance Tax (buyer) and 4.5% Gain Tax (seller) apply only to the installments paid to DHA — not to the resale profit. This means the entire profit margin is tax-free at point of transfer, maximising net returns.

Active Development & Infrastructure Progress

Development is actively ongoing across all blocks. Boundary walls are constructed, main roads are being laid, and utilities are being installed. DHA's track record of delivering on Phases 1–6 in Islamabad and Rawalpindi gives investors confidence in timely development.

Impact on Neighbouring Property Values

The development of DHA Margalla Enclave is already positively impacting property values in adjacent schemes including Bahria Enclave, Park View City, and Park Enclave — a signal of the broader real estate uplift the project is generating in CDA Zone 4.

First Possession Ceremony — A Historic Milestone

DHA Margalla Enclave delivers Pakistan's fastest first possession in just 11 months — celebrating valued possession holders in Islamabad's most promising community.

As of Aug 2026, second balloting resale profits are: 5 Marla - PKR 8 to 9 million, 10 Marla - PKR 14 to 15 million, and 1 Kanal - PKR 25 to 35 million. First balloting plots command higher premiums (5 Marla - PKR 9 to 10 million, 10 Marla - PKR 15 to 17 million, 1 Kanal - PKR 30 to 40 million) due to more installments paid and established market position.

If you don't receive a plot in the balloting, you can purchase from the resale market. Resale transactions are secure as profit is paid only at the time of official DHA transfer. We assist with verified resale purchases and complete documentation.

DHA Islamabad has already delivered the first-ever possession of DHA Margalla Enclave in a record-breaking 11 months — possession was handed over for select streets in ME-2, where the first possession ceremony was held in 2026. All other blocks are currently under active development, with their sectors to be handed over progressively as milestones are reached. DHA officially announces sector-wise possession schedules. Development is progressing rapidly with roads, utilities, and amenities being laid across all blocks.

Yes. DHA Islamabad delivered the first-ever possession of DHA Margalla Enclave in just 11 months from project launch — a record-breaking timeline for a project of this scale in Pakistan. The first possession ceremony has been successfully held and possession holders have begun construction of homes. This sets a new benchmark for timely development and delivery in Zone 4, Islamabad.

DHA Margalla Enclave is a CDA & DHA Islamabad joint venture in CDA Zone 4 with full CDA NOC — the only project of its kind in this category. While Bahria Enclave, Park View City and Park Enclave share the same general location (Main Jinnah Avenue / Park Road area), DHA Margalla Enclave is differentiated by: (1) DHA's institutional reputation for delivery, (2) record-breaking 11-month first possession, (3) CDA joint-venture status, (4) larger 10,000 Kanal scale, and (5) strong resale appreciation across the 1st and 2nd ballotings.

Yes. Overseas Pakistanis and international investors can buy plots in DHA Margalla Enclave. DHA accepts international wire transfers and remittances against the official invoice. Documents can be processed via authorized representative with a notarized Special Power of Attorney. Our marketing team assists overseas buyers with the entire booking, payment, and transfer process remotely.

Yes. DHA Margalla Enclave is among the safest real-estate investments in Pakistan because: (1) it is developed by DHA Islamabad with a proven track record across Phases 1–6, (2) it is a CDA & DHA joint venture with full CDA NOC and approvals, (3) it is located in CDA Zone 4 — a legally protected planning zone, (4) the first possession was delivered in a record 11 months proving execution capability, and (5) profit on resale is paid only at the time of official DHA transfer — making the transaction secure even in the resale market.

No. This website is managed by Souq al'Ard (Pvt) Ltd, an authorized marketing company providing verified information, pricing, and assistance for DHA Margalla Enclave plots. For official queries, contact DHA directly.

A “file” is an allotted plot being sold by its current owner, and its file rate is two amounts added together: the DHA invoice — the original price, of which the owner has already paid part — and the premium the owner is asking on top. The premium is what moves; the invoice does not. Files from the 1st and 2nd Ballotings usually cost more than 3rd Balloting ones, simply because more installments have already been paid into them.

Because the premium changes with the market, no single number stays true for long. Every plot on our plots for resale page publishes its invoice, the premium being asked and the total in full, and you can tell us the size and block you want for files that are not listed online. If you would rather buy directly from DHA at a fixed price with no premium at all, that is the 3rd Balloting.

Yes. DHA Margalla Enclave holds full CDA NOC approval, and it is not an approval obtained from outside — the project is a joint venture between DHA Islamabad and the Capital Development Authority itself, the same body that issues the NOC.

It also sits in CDA Zone 4 of the Islamabad Capital Territory, a legally protected planning zone where private housing schemes are permitted under CDA’s own regulations. That combination — a CDA joint venture, inside a CDA-planned zone, with the NOC in hand — is what separates it from schemes still waiting on approvals.
