FBR Puts Islamabad Property Valuation SRO on Hold for Review

The tax authority will revisit Islamabad’s fair‑market values following stakeholder objections that some rates exceeded real prices.

Overview

  • SRO 2392(I)/2025, issued on December 8, has been held in abeyance until January 31, 2026 or until a revised notification is issued.
  • FBR says a re-evaluation is underway after it found some objections from real estate associations to be valid.
  • Until new values are notified, the earlier regime under SRO 1180(I)/2022, as amended, remains applicable in Islamabad.
  • Stakeholders had cited sharp increases in the new table, with reports of hikes reaching up to 1,250% in certain sectors and large jumps in DHA rates.
  • In a related urban-planning step, the Capital Development Authority has engaged a consultant to assess illegal and unplanned housing colonies for possible regularisation or demolition.
