This page exists because the answer is scattered: the official schedule lives on an old
.php page, half the figures circulating on YouTube are outdated, and the maintenance number most
sites quote is from 2019. Below is the official schedule as re-checked on 2 September 2026 — with its effective dates shown,
and with the one number that is genuinely stale flagged instead of repeated.
Transferring a CDA-sector plot instead (F-6/F-7/F-8/E-7 or any directly CDA-administered area)? Different counter, different file, different fees — the One Window route, document list, NDC timeline and the 1%→3%→1% fee history are in CDA plot transfer in Islamabad.

Three lines on the same schedule that nobody quotes
Re-read on 2 September 2026, the society’s own published schedule carries three charges that no dealer page and no YouTube breakdown mentions. None of them is large on its own; together they are the difference between your budget and your bill.
- A possession tax of Rs 100 per square yard, effective July 2015 — separate from the possession charge in the table above. On a 5 Marla plot (125 sq yd) that is Rs 12,500; on a 1 Kanal (500 sq yd), Rs 50,000. Confirm it against your own file at the counter.
- A design-approval fee, effective 1 November 2022, payable when you submit building drawings — a construction-stage cost that buyers budgeting only for transfer never see coming. Our map-approval guide covers what the submission itself involves.
- Separate rates for nominee transfer and death (inheritance) transfer, distinct from an ordinary sale transfer. If you are transferring within a family or after a death, the ordinary fee in the table above is not your number — ask for the nominee or death-transfer line specifically. Our inheritance and gift guide explains the tax side.
We are publishing the existence and effective dates of these three because they are on the society’s own schedule and are routinely left out elsewhere. We are not publishing the nominee, death-transfer and design-approval amounts, because we have not read them off the schedule in a form we would stake a budget on. Ask at the transfer office and hold them to the printed page.
The maintenance-charge truth
Ask three sources what maintenance costs and you get three answers. Here they are, dated, so you can judge:
- The official schedule page: “Rs 2,000/month, applicable from June 2019” — that line has not been revised on the page since. Treat it as a floor, not a bill.
- A documented resident bill (Nov 2023): about Rs 5,453/month for a constructed 5 Marla house — base maintenance plus LPG supply, security and waste-management add-ons. The most concrete figure publicly available, though itself now dated.
- 2026 reality: expect a built house's monthly bill to sit meaningfully above the official Rs 2,000 line. Vacant plots are billed differently from built homes. Confirm your exact liability on the official Bahria Enclave billing portal — and when you buy, make the seller's paid-up bills part of the NDC check.
Where this fits in your budget: government taxes (§236K at 1.25% for filers, ~1% stamp duty) are computed separately on FBR values — the full stack with worked examples is in the taxes & costs guide, and the sector-wise plot prices these fees sit on top of are in the price list.
The numbers, straight
Per the official schedule (effective 17 Oct 2022, still the published rates when re-checked on 2 September 2026): Rs 73,200 for 5 Marla, Rs 106,920 for 8 Marla, Rs 147,450 for 10 Marla, Rs 248,700 for 1 Kanal and Rs 304,920 for 2 Kanal. Urgent transfer costs 50% extra. These are society fees — government taxes (§236K, stamp duty) are separate and on top.
Residential possession charges (effective 4 Oct 2022): Rs 108,000 (5M), Rs 129,600 (8M), Rs 151,200 (10M), Rs 237,600 (1K), Rs 280,800 (2K), Rs 388,800 (4K). Utility connection is billed separately — Rs 117,000 for 5 Marla and Rs 408,000 for 1 Kanal are the published residential figures; rows for other sizes aren't published, so confirm at the office. Commercial possession runs Rs 576,000 to over Rs 1,000,000.
The honest answer: the official page still carries a Rs 2,000/month line dated June 2019 — stale. The most concrete documented figure is a resident's actual service bill of about Rs 5,453/month for a constructed 5 Marla house (reported Nov 2023), driven by added LPG, security and waste charges. Expect the real 2026 bill for a built house to sit well above the official Rs 2,000 line — check your exact bill on the official billing portal before budgeting, and treat any website's single number (including this one) as an anchor, not gospel.
By market convention the buyer pays the society transfer fee and their own §236K advance tax, while the seller clears dues (NDC) and their §236C. But it is convention, not law — everything is negotiable and belongs in the token agreement in writing. We put the full cost split on the table before any token.
