All 15 numbered Askaris share one FBR residential rate under S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024 — RDA's register does not carry the numbered Askaris by name, and Askari 14 vs 11 asking prices, dated.
All fifteen numbered Askari housing schemes in Rawalpindi — Askari I through Askari XV — sit on one FBR gazette line for residential land and diverge only on commercial. That is the single biggest fact FBR's own valuation table tells you about this cluster, and no dealer page states it because they only ever quote the one Askari a buyer asked about. Here is the full 15-scheme table, what RDA's public register does and does not say about Askari by name, and dated asking prices for the two most-searched numbers — Askari 14 and Askari 11.
Transcribed from S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024 (29 October 2024, the Rawalpindi district valuation table, gazette pages 343–345, serials 5282–5311) — the same base gazette covered in full on our Rawalpindi FBR ladder. All fifteen residential rows read an identical Rs 5,950.4 per square foot. Commercial is where the schemes actually separate — from Rs 19,834.6 in Askari XV up to Rs 33,718.9 in Askari XIII, a 70% spread inside one brand:
| Scheme | Residential Rs / sq ft | Commercial Rs / sq ft | Gazette page | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Askari I | 5,950.4 | 23,801.6 | p.343 | — |

| Askari XIII | 5,950.4 | 33,718.9 | p.344–5 | Highest Askari commercial rate. |

Every row above is unamended 2024 text — S.R.O. 877(I)/2026 (19 May 2026) touched only Rawalpindi's DHA rows, not Askari. See the full Rawalpindi ladder for that amendment and the rest of the district's 64 transcribed rows.
RDA (Rawalpindi Development Authority) publishes two public lists on its own site: approved housing schemes and illegal housing schemes. We searched both, case-insensitive, for “Askari” and for “AWT”/“Army Welfare” on 3 September 2026. The numbered Askari I–XV cluster does not appear under that name in either list — not approved, not illegal, not anywhere. Three differently-named AWT entries do exist, but at different locations from the numbered cantt cluster:
| Entry (RDA's exact name) | Location | Status | RDA's own note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Army Welfare Housing Scheme (Defense-I) | Morgah, Kotha Kalan | Approved | “Phase-I is merged in DHA” |
| AWT Housing Scheme | Fateh Jang Road, Taxila | Illegal | No note recorded |
| Army Welfare Trust Housing Society | Wanni, Poor, Paswani, Jando | Illegal | No note recorded |
| “Askari I” through “Askari XV”, by name | — | Not found in RDA's register | Zero matches for “Askari” across all 610 illegal + 78 approved + 0 unapproved entries |
What this gap means — and what it does not mean. RDA's register does not say Askari I–XV are unapproved. Askari schemes are developed by the Army Welfare Trust on cantonment/defence land, which sits under military-estate administration rather than RDA's civilian housing-scheme approval regime — that is a plausible, structural reason a numbered Askari cluster would not appear in the same public register that lists Bahria Town, Gulraiz or Top City. We are not asserting that reason as confirmed fact, only reporting what we searched and found: zero matches, on the day checked. If you are buying in a numbered Askari, ask your seller which authority actually holds the title record and NOC for that specific scheme, and verify directly with them — do not assume RDA's silence is either a green light or a red flag.
This is also why our own society-status checker will not return a result for Askari: that tool runs on CDA's Islamabad register only. Askari Rawalpindi sits outside both CDA's and (per the search above) RDA's public lists — check with AWT / the scheme's own cantonment board office for its actual regulatory status, not a portal or dealer claim.
These are the two most-searched numbered Askaris. We could not pull a fresh, dated Zameen listing sweep for either this session — Zameen runs Askari 14 (area id 1504) under Houses/Flats/Homes categories rather than a standalone Plots page, and a direct Plots-page fetch 404’d for both numbers. The figures below come from Zameen's own search results and index pages instead, and are labelled at the confidence they actually carry:
| Scheme | Figure | Source & date | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Askari 14 | House asking roughly Rs 58 Lac – 3.5 Cr; a 5 Marla house around Rs 60–85 Lac, a 10 Marla house from Rs 1.7–2.55 Cr | Zameen search results, browsed 4 Sep 2026 — aggregated across listings, undated as a single page | Lower — not a single fetched, dated index |
| Askari 11 | Residential plot price index average Rs 5.39 Crore | Zameen's own “Residential Plot Price Index” page, index value dated by Zameen as August 2024 | Lower — over a year old, no size specified |
Read both as a directional signal, not a quote: these are house/asking figures, not a fresh plot-by-plot sweep, and Askari 11's index point predates this page by more than a year. Send us the specific plot or house and we pull the live listing ourselves before you commit to a number.
For the tax side once you have a real number: §236K (buyer) and §236C (seller) apply on the higher of your declared price and the FBR row above — full mechanics and worked examples on our taxes & transfer costs page. For comparison against a plot-file market on the same corridor, see Bahria Town Rawalpindi Phase 8.
We did not pull a fresh, dated plot-listing sweep for Askari 14 this session — Zameen catalogues Askari 14 under Houses/Flats/Homes rather than a standalone Plots page (a direct Plots-page fetch 404’d). Search results put house asking roughly between Rs 58 Lac and Rs 3.5 Crore, with a 5 Marla house around Rs 60–85 Lac and a 10 Marla house from Rs 1.7–2.55 Crore — aggregated, undated snippets, not a single fetched index. FBR's own residential rate for Askari, all 15 schemes including XIV, is Rs 5,950.4 per square foot under S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024. Send us the exact plot or house and we pull the live listing directly.
RDA's own public register — searched case-insensitive for “Askari” across all 78 approved, 610 illegal and 0 unapproved entries on 3 September 2026 — returns zero matches for the numbered Askari I–XV cluster. That is not the same as “unapproved”: Askari schemes are developed by the Army Welfare Trust on cantonment/defence land, which is administered separately from RDA's civilian housing-scheme approval regime, a plausible reason it would not appear in RDA's list at all. Three differently-located AWT entries do exist in RDA's register (one approved, two illegal) but none matches the numbered cantt cluster by location. Verify directly with AWT or the scheme's cantonment board office rather than relying on a portal or dealer's claim either way.
On FBR's table the two are close: identical residential rate (Rs 5,950.4/sq ft, same as all 15 Askaris), and Askari XI's commercial rate (Rs 28,016.4/sq ft) runs about 35% above Askari XIV's (Rs 20,826.4/sq ft). Neither appears in RDA's public register under its number. The markets read differently on Zameen, though: Askari 14 shows up mainly as a house/flat resale market, while Askari 11 carries its own (stale, August 2024) plot-price index averaging Rs 5.39 Crore. That is a difference in how each number trades, not a verdict on legality or value — send us your budget and use case and we compare the two on the numbers that matter to you.
Rs 5,950.4 per square foot residential, identical across all fifteen numbered Askari schemes (I through XV), per S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024, gazette pages 343–345. Commercial varies by scheme, from Rs 19,834.6/sq ft (Askari XV, lowest) to Rs 33,718.9/sq ft (Askari XIII, highest) — a 70% spread inside one brand. §236K/236C tax is computed on the higher of this value and your declared price.
RDA ke apne register mein (3 September 2026 ko check kiya, 78 approved + 610 illegal + 0 unapproved entries mein se) “Askari” naam se numbered Askari I se XV tak koi bhi entry nahi milti — na approved list mein, na illegal mein. Iska matlab “ghair-qanooni” nahi hai: Askari schemes Army Welfare Trust cantonment/defence land par banati hai, jo RDA ke civilian approval nizaam se alag chalta hai — yehi wajah ho sakti hai ke register mein na aaye. RDA register mein teen alag AWT entries zaroor hain (ek approved, do illegal) magar unki location numbered Askari cluster se match nahi karti. Khareedne se pehle AWT ya cantonment board office se seedha tasdeeq karein.
S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024 transcribed page by page: Bahria Town’s eight phases, all fifteen Askaris, Faisal Town/Hills’ six-fold mauza gap, Top City, Capital Smart City, Mumtaz City, Eighteen and more — plus the one narrow 2026 amendment that actually changed a value, and the brand with no row at all.
1,477 live listings, the lowest FBR rate in the cluster, and the DHA sector takeover, Punjab auction and NAB notice that only touch parts of this phase.
Sticker price is never the landed cost. §236K at 1.25% (filer) vs up to 18.5% (non-filer), ~1% stamp duty, society transfer fees — totalled for real 5 Marla, 10 Marla and 1 Kanal examples.
Send the scheme number and whether it's a plot, house or flat. The FBR value, RDA's actual register status and a live listing pull come back — before you pay, not after.
