The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has introduced an automated e‑balloting process, managed by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), to resolve disputes for plot holders across multiple sectors in Islamabad.
Many investors, including overseas buyers who purchased plots in the 1990s and early 2000s, have encountered problems such as cancelled allotments, reduced plot sizes, shifted locations, and delays in obtaining physical possession. In several cases, original 1‑kanal allocations were cut to 14 marlas or 10 marlas, plot numbers were altered, or properties were reassigned to less desirable areas like depressions or areas adjacent to seasonal nullahs.
The relief program covers ten residential sectors: I‑11, I‑12, I‑13, I‑14, I‑15, E‑12, E‑13, C‑13, C‑14, C‑15, and C‑16. Growing demand for housing in these zones makes a fair resolution essential for maintaining confidence in Islamabad’s property market.
To take part in the e‑balloting, applicants must submit a formal request to the Directorate of Land Rehabilitation. The request must include an allotment letter attested by a Grade‑16 or higher government official and a clear description of the issue, such as an changed plot number, reduced dimensions, unfavorable terrain, or cancellation due to revised layout drawings. After administrative review, eligible claimants are entered into the automated balloting pool for reallocation.
Concurrently, land recovery and anti‑encroachment drives are underway in sectors including E‑13 and other stalled development areas. Authorities have reclaimed large parcels of encroached land to enable development and support legitimate owners. Guidelines specify that individuals with valid registries and verified documentation will be assisted, while unauthorized occupants will not receive concessions.
Sector C‑14, located near the Margalla Hills and Iran Avenue, is highlighted as a prime area. It offers exclusively 1‑kanal residential plots and is adjacent to an international‑standard cricket stadium and planned luxury commercial developments. Ongoing infrastructure projects, including work at Kashmir Chowk, Serena Chowk, and the Margalla Enclave underpass, are improving connectivity and are expected to increase property value once layout anomalies are resolved.
This automated, verified balloting system represents a step toward greater transparency, providing relief to property owners awaiting lawful possession and strengthening confidence in Islamabad’s urban planning.
