F-15 and E-16 — Which Scheme Inside Actually Has an NOC
These are CDA sectors, so the real question is which named scheme inside each one holds an NOC. CDA’s own table answers it, with dates.
F-15 and E-16 are CDA sectors, not private schemes — so asking “is F-15 approved?” is the wrong question. The right one is which named scheme inside the sector holds a layout-plan approval and an NOC, and on what dates. CDA publishes that in a table almost nobody opens, and it answers both sectors precisely.
It also explains the thing buyers notice and cannot account for: why one sub-sector trades at nearly double another.
What the record actually says
| Fact | What the source says |
|---|---|
| F-15 — Khayaban-e-Kashmir-I | Registered across Sectors G-15 / F-15. LOP approved 25 Apr 2002; NOC issued 13 May 2004. Area 3,482.62 Kanal, 2,516 residential plots. Clean, and it matches the register entry exactly. |
| F-15/2, F-15/3, F-15/4 | Do not appear as separately named or NOC’d schemes in CDA’s table at all. They read as parts of the CDA master-plan sector itself rather than privately sponsored schemes. That is not a defect — it means a different authority and a different question. |
| E-16 — Cabinet Division Employees CHS | Registered across E-16 and E-17. LOP approved 28 Jun 2004; NOC issued 13 Oct 2004. Area 4,405 Kanal, 2,749 residential plots. Never cancelled. |
| E-16 — Roshan Pakistan Corporation HS | LOP approved 6 Jul 2004; NOC issued 11 Mar 2006; NOC cancelled 1 May 2017. Area 1,619 Kanal, 931 plots. CDA’s register records the layout plan as cancelled too. |
| Not the same thing | “Faisal Residentia” sits in E-17, not E-16, under a different sponsor entirely — LOP approved 29 Mar 2022, NOC still Not Issued. Do not let the sector pair blur them together. See the Faisal Town page below. |
The most uncomfortable number on this page. On Zameen’s own index, the E-16 sub-sector where Roshan Pakistan’s listings concentrate — E-16/1 — is the fastest-appreciating sub-area in this entire research cluster: +31% year on year, against +4% for E-16/3. That is the sub-sector attached to the scheme whose NOC was cancelled in 2017 and whose office was reported sealed in December 2025. The market is bidding it up either despite that record or in ignorance of it. We are not telling you what to conclude; we are telling you the record and the price are moving in opposite directions, and that you should know both before you join in.
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.
| Category | Notified value |
|---|---|
| CDECHS, E-16 & E-17 | Rs 10,500/sq yd — S.R.O. 644(I)/2026 |
| F-15 / G-15 with possession | Rs 17,500/sq yd · without possession Rs 7,000/sq yd |
| F-14, for comparison | Rs 25,000/sq yd — notably above F-15 |
The possession split is the number to notice: FBR itself prices a plot without possession at 40% of one with it. Work your own number on the plot cost calculator.
Asking prices — what is listed, and what that is worth knowing
| Size | Asking range | Source, and what it is |
|---|---|---|
| F-15 headline index | avg Rs 2.16 Cr | Zameen index, fetched 2 Sep 2026 — and down ~5.3% year on year, the only declining headline in this whole research. |
| F-15 by size | 10 Marla 1.21 Cr · 7 Marla 1.67 Cr · 15 Marla 1.62 Cr · 2 Kanal 3.4 Cr | Same page, same day — and every one of these is up double digits year on year. Both numbers are Zameen's; we print the contradiction rather than choose. |
| F-15/1 | avg Rs 2.95 Cr | The sub-sector matching Khayaban-e-Kashmir-I's clean 2004 NOC. |
| F-15/3 | avg Rs 1.54 Cr | Roughly half F-15/1, in the same sector. |
| F-15/4 | avg Rs 1.73 Cr | +12% year on year. |
| E-16 headline index | avg Rs 93.1 Lac | +13.4% year on year, +19% over two years. |
| E-16/1 | avg Rs 56.78 Lac | +31% year on year — the Roshan Pakistan sub-sector. See the box above. |
| E-16/3 | avg Rs 92.11 Lac | +4% year on year. |
All Zameen index figures, fetched 2 September 2026 from the sector index pages. The F-15/1-versus-F-15/3 gap is the clearest price signal in this cluster, and it lines up exactly with which sub-sector sits inside a scheme with a clean, dated NOC.
The honest part
- “F-15 has an NOC” is a half-truth. Khayaban-e-Kashmir-I does, since 2004, across G-15/F-15. Whether your plot is inside it is a different question, and the price gap between sub-sectors suggests the market already knows the answer.
- E-16 contains one clean scheme and one whose NOC was cancelled nine years ago. The sector name tells you nothing; the scheme name tells you everything.
- A cancelled NOC does not stop a market. E-16/1 is appreciating faster than anywhere else here. Price is not evidence of legality.
- Nobody is searching the right question. “E-16 NOC” and “F-15 NOC status” return no autocomplete suggestions at all — people search “latest news”, “update today” and “plot for sale price” instead. The compliance record is not what the market is looking at.
What to ask before you pay
- “Which named scheme is this plot in?” Then check that name, and only that name, in the society checker.
- “Which sub-sector, exactly?” F-15/1 and F-15/3 are two markets.
- “Possession or not?” FBR values the difference at 60%.
- For anything in E-16: “Is this CDECHS land or Roshan Pakistan land?” Ask it in exactly those words.
Against Bahria Enclave, plainly
These sectors sit on the opposite side of the city from Bahria Enclave and compete on price, not on character — E-16 in particular is one of the few places inside Islamabad’s sector grid where a 5 Marla still trades under 60 Lakh. What you are buying is a sector address with a scheme question underneath it; in the Enclave corridor you are buying a scheme with a plot question underneath it.
Both are answerable. The mistake is assuming the sector letter answers either one.
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.
- DHA Islamabad-Rawalpindi
- Naval Anchorage Islamabad
- Zaraj Housing Scheme
- B-17 Multi Gardens
- G-13, G-14 and G-15
- Gulberg Greens & Residencia
- Bani Gala
- Lehtrar Road & Simly Dam Road
- Chak Shahzad
- Bahria Town Rawalpindi
- Park View City Islamabad
- Faisal Town & Faisal Hills
- Top City-1
And the story that runs through all of them: CDA’s 2025–26 enforcement wave.
Plots available in every Bahria Enclave sector — and we buy as well as sell
From Sector A’s finished streets to Sector O’s entry tickets — 5 Marla to 4 Kanal, file to allotment to possession — we keep live options in all sixteen sectors, plus DHA Margalla Enclave ballots, files and resales. Buying, selling, or exchanging: one WhatsApp message gets you today’s real options, with verification built in before any token moves.
Sector versus scheme
F-15 is a CDA sector, so the question belongs to the schemes inside it. CDA's own scheme table shows Khayaban-e-Kashmir-I registered across Sectors G-15 and F-15, layout plan approved 25 April 2002 and NOC issued 13 May 2004, covering 3,482.62 Kanal and 2,516 residential plots. F-15/2, F-15/3 and F-15/4 do not appear as separately named NOC'd schemes in that table at all — they read as parts of the master-plan sector itself. Ask which scheme your specific plot is in.
On Zameen's own index, fetched 2 September 2026, F-15/1 averages about Rs 2.95 Crore against F-15/3's Rs 1.54 Crore — close to double. F-15/1 is the sub-sector that lines up with Khayaban-e-Kashmir-I's clean, dated 2004 NOC. The price gap and the compliance record point the same way, which is unusual enough in this market to be worth noticing.
Cancelled. CDA's own scheme table records the layout plan approved 6 July 2004 and the NOC issued 11 March 2006, then cancelled on 1 May 2017 — and CDA's register shows the layout plan as cancelled too. The other scheme in that sector pair, Cabinet Division Employees Cooperative Housing Society, has held a clean NOC since 13 October 2004 and has never been cancelled. Same sector, two completely different legal positions.
We do not know, and we would rather say so than invent a reason. What we can show is the data: Zameen's index has E-16/1 — the sub-sector where Roshan Pakistan listings concentrate — up about 31% year on year, the fastest in this whole cluster, against +4% for E-16/3. Either the market has information we do not, or most buyers have never opened CDA's table. Price movement is not evidence of legal status.
Looking at F-15 or E-16?
Send the sub-sector and the plot number. You get which named scheme it belongs to, that scheme's NOC dates, and what the price gap is really telling you.
