Bahria Town Rawalpindi Phase 3 — and the Executive Meadows Confusion

Phase 3 shares its RDA approval with Phases 1 and 2, and is also where FBR’s commercial rate first steps up on this table — Rs 16,758.4/sq ft here versus Rs 16,528.9 for Phases 1–2, a small but real difference the gazette itself draws. A second gazette line, “Bahria Town Executive Meadows Phase-III”, sits separately at the same rate — a distinct scheme name worth not confusing with plain Phase 3 on your paperwork.

Bahria Town Rawalpindi is a privately sponsored scheme under the ordinary Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) layout-plan/NOC regime — not a separate statutory authority the way DHA is. RDA’s own housing-societies register (checked 3 Sep 2026) carries three lines under this brand: a combined “Bahria Town (Phase-I,II&III (Partially))” approved entry over 2,368.14 Kanal at Kotha Kalan (transfer deed & bank guarantee submitted in place of mortgage deed, updated 3 Feb 2026); two separate “Bahria Town Phase-VIII” approved entries (5,954 Kanal at Shahpur and 11,545.85 Kanal at Gali); and, on the illegal list, “Bahria Town Phase VIII Extension” (Mouza Dhara, Bahria Town Expressway) plus a differently-located “Bahria Town Phase IX, VIII” at Lari Miana, Adyala Road. Phases IV, V, VI and VII do not appear as their own named line on either RDA list — on the Islamabad side, CDA’s own Zone-5 register separately carries a “Bahria Town, Phase VII” entry, which is the jurisdiction split this page exists to explain.

What the record actually says

If your allotment letter says “Executive Meadows”, ask which RDA approval line it sits under — we could not confirm this pass whether Executive Meadows falls inside the same combined Phase I-III approval or is its own unregistered sub-scheme.

What FBR values it at — the number that decides your tax

Advance tax under §236K and §236C is computed on FBR’s notified value, not on what you pay. Almost nobody publishes these per area, so here they are, with the notification they come from.

All eight phases sit on FBR’s Rawalpindi table under S.R.O. 1728(I)/2024 (29 Oct 2024), which remains in force for every Bahria Town row — the 19 May 2026 amendment, S.R.O. 877(I)/2026, touched only the fourteen DHA serials on the same table and left Bahria untouched. Values are per square foot; Islamabad’s separate table runs per square yard — multiply by nine before comparing the two. Full page-and-serial citation for every phase: the Rawalpindi FBR table. Work your own number on the plot cost calculator.

Asking prices — what is listed, and what that is worth knowing

No independent Zameen pull scoped to Phase 3 this pass. See the hub page for the scheme-level framing this reuses.

The honest part

• Two gazette lines, one shared name. Confirm whether your allotment letter says plain “Phase-III” or “Executive Meadows Phase-III” and match it to the right serial.
• “(Partially)” in the RDA entry name is unexplained by the register itself — ask RDA or the sponsor which part.
• No phase-specific asking-price sample this pass.

What to ask before you pay

• “Is my plot under plain Phase-III or Executive Meadows Phase-III, per FBR’s own gazette?”
• “What does ‘Partially’ mean for my specific block?”
• “Current asking prices for this street, dated?”

Against Bahria Enclave, plainly

Phase 3 sits in the same mature tier as Phases 1 and 2, with one added wrinkle — a second gazette name to check on your own paperwork. Bahria Enclave carries no such naming overlap and publishes its compliance record in full.

Bahria Enclave’s own location page puts Bahria Town Rawalpindi (all eight phases, as one scheme-wide figure) at roughly 44 km away, off GT Road — a different city, a different regulator, a different drive. We do not have an independently verified phase-level breakdown of that figure, so we are not splitting it further here; treat 44 km as the planning distance from the Enclave corridor regardless of which phase you are looking at.

The rest of the city, read the same way

Same four things on every one: CDA’s register badge, the notices attached to it, FBR’s notified value, and dated asking prices.
