The SBP claimed exemption from tax on its assets under Section 99(2)(f) of the Cantonments Act of 1924, according to the province supreme court’s full judgement. Hearing the SBP’s petition for the dismissal of tax notices issued by the Chaklala Cantonment Board, an SBP representative argued that the petitioner was entitled to a tax exemption because it was a corporation and not a commercial entity like the National Bank of Pakistan or any other commercial/scheduled bank or financial institution.

The SBP attorney also asserted that the central bank, by virtue of its powers and functions, was wholly owned by the federal government and performed functions on its behalf, that it was mentioned in the Fourth Schedule, Part I, Federal Legislative List at Item No. 28 of the Constitution, and that these functions were granted to the central bank via an amendment to the act and other applicable laws.

Notably, the SBP is a federal government regulatory organisation that controls commercial DFIs and banks. It possesses a variety of non-transferable assets and properties across the country that are permanent assets of the federal government. By law, the federal government’s properties are exempt from provincial and territorial taxation.

The list will be updated on the LDA’s official website and Facebook page so that the public can learn more. LDA Director General (DG) Aamir Ahmed Khan told the media that the action was taken in response to directives from the Lahore High Court (LHC) and will be put in place to protect people from frauds related to real estate. He said that, according to the LHC rules, LDA has given each registered society a unique QR code with a number so that their transactions can be tracked and the investors’ hard-earned money can be kept safe. DG Khan also said that the authority is following the rules and has written to the Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) to stop illegal housing developments from advertising in the city.

 

It’s important to note that the LHC has told the LDA and other housing regulators to take specific steps to stop illegal housing schemes from ripping people off. In this way, the LDA has given each housing scheme its own QR code, which, when scanned, shows the scheme’s total area, the number of sold and mortgaged plots, and the number of commercial and residential plots.

Under the new rules for family transfers, the person who wants to move will only have to file an affidavit. If there are any problems, he will have three months to fix them. In a similar way, the NOC validity period has been increased from three months to one year to help the person who is getting the property.

The decisions were made at a meeting last week, which was led by Chairman CDA Captain (Retired) Muhammad Younas. In the next few days, the CDA will send out a formal notice to make the process easier.

Also, the CDA gave more instructions to build a system that would let old houses be sold through the authority instead of through the registry. With the new system, houses in Sectors F-6, F-7, F-8, G-6, and G-7 can be given back to their owners from the CDA without the help of the revenue department. Before, these houses were sold from one person to another through the department of revenue. The people who lived in these houses tried to get them transferred from CDA, but the city government didn’t have a way to do that.
