FBR valuation table: the value FBR fixes for your area

Look up the value FBR has fixed for an area of Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad: the rupees per marla, square yard or square foot in FBR's own valuation SROs, with the SRO each figure comes from.

Names, figures and units are FBR's, as its SROs print them. The FBR value is a minimum for federal taxes, not a market price.

What the FBR value is used for

FBR fixes these values under section 68 of the Income Tax Ordinance. The federal taxes on a sale and purchase, the seller's advance tax under section 236C, the buyer's under section 236K, and capital gains, are worked out on at least this value. FBR says its rates are for federal taxes only: stamp duty and other provincial charges use the DC value.

How to read the table

Find your area by the name FBR gives it (a society, phase, block, sector or road), then the column for your kind of property. Plot values are for the land; built-up values are for the covered area. Each SRO states its own unit, and a row that shows 'not given' has no figure in the SRO for that kind of property.

Names, not approvals

The area names are FBR's. A society appearing in FBR's table says nothing about whether a development authority has approved it.

Questions

Where is the FBR valuation table for Lahore for 2026?

Lahore's table is SRO 1722(I)/2024, in force from 1 November 2024, with SRO 876(I)/2026 of 19 May 2026 changing the DHA phases in Nishtar Town and adding One Central DHA. Pick Lahore above, then your town.

What is the FBR value per marla?

Lahore's SRO gives residential and commercial plot values per marla and built-up values per square foot. Karachi's gives every value per square foot, and Islamabad's gives plots per square yard and built-up property per square foot. Multiply by your plot's size in the same unit.

Is the FBR value the market price?

No. It is the minimum value FBR uses for the federal taxes on a property deal. A sale can be agreed at any price, but those taxes are worked out on at least this value.

My area is not in the table. Which value applies?

Read FBR's notes for your city: Karachi's SRO, for example, says a property in no category falls in the adjacent highest one, and Islamabad's sends rural areas to the District Collector's valuation. Ask FBR or a tax adviser when in doubt.
