Capital Development Authority (CDA) has introduced a streamlined automated e-balloting system, managed in collaboration with the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), to resolve historical property discrepancies for residents of Islamabad. For decades, many plot owners, including overseas Pakistanis who invested in the 1990s and early 2000s, have struggled with layout revisions. These revisions often resulted in reduced plot sizes—such as shifting from an original 1-kanal allocation down to 14 marlas or 10 marlas—modified plot numbers, or unfavorable relocations near seasonal nullahs and depression zones. This new digital initiative provides a structured, transparent pathway to reclaim rightful plots at no additional cost.
The relief program specifically covers ten key residential sectors across the capital city. These sectors include I-11, I-12, I-13, I-14, and I-15, alongside E-12, E-13, C-13, C-14, C-15, and C-16. As demand for residential land in these zones continues to climb, resolving these administrative anomalies is crucial for maintaining trust in the local real estate market.
To initiate the verification process, affected allottees must submit a formal application to the Directorate of Land Rehabilitation. Applicants need to attach their original allotment letter, which must be officially attested by a government officer of Grade-16 or higher. Within the application, property owners must clearly specify the exact nature of the discrepancy, whether it involves an altered plot number, shrunk dimensions, challenging terrain, or total cancellation due to revised layout drawings. Once the directorate verifies the paperwork, successful applicants are entered into the automated e-balloting pool for final plot reallocation.
In tandem with the digital balloting, authorities are executing extensive land recovery and anti-encroachment drives, particularly in sectors like E-13. These operations aim to reclaim public land and clear stalled development projects. Official guidelines dictate that individuals with valid, verified registries will receive full support and alternative accommodations, whereas squatters lacking legal documentation will not be granted any concessions.
Special attention is being directed toward Sector C-14, a highly anticipated residential zone located near the scenic Margalla Hills and Iran Avenue. Designed exclusively for premium 1-kanal plots, the sector is positioned close to an international-standard cricket stadium and future luxury commercial hubs. With major infrastructural milestones—such as the rapid development of Kashmir Chowk, Serena Chowk, and the Margalla Enclave underpass—approaching completion, resolving layout anomalies in Sector C-14 is set to unlock immense value for local investors and property holders.
By combining automated verification with active land rehabilitation, the CDA is paving the way for greater administrative clarity, helping thousands of legitimate property owners secure their assets and boosting overall confidence in Islamabad’s urban development trajectory.
