Naval Anchorage — Clean Badge, Final Notice

On CDA’s register, Naval Anchorage looks like one of the safest names in Islamabad: 3,702.70 Kanal in Zone 5, layout plan approved 27 February 2020, NOC issued 28 May 2020. No cancellation, no flag.

Attached to that same register page are two documents dated 1 June 2026, headed Final Show Cause Notice. They do not concern the 3,702.70 Kanal that carries the badge. They concern roughly 6,000 further Kanal being developed and marketed under the same name — and CDA’s position on that land is unambiguous.

What the record actually says

Do not confuse this with the 2022 Islamabad High Court order about the Navy’s sailing club and farmhouses on the Rawal Lake embankment. Different land, different case, different year.

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.

A correction to this page, made the day it was published. We first printed the 24 February figures as current. They are not: S.R.O. 644(I)/2026 says in its own opening paragraph that it supersedes both S.R.O. 163(I)/2026 and S.R.O. 332(I)/2026. The current numbers are 17,000 and 6,800. We are leaving the history above visible because four notifications in five months is itself the useful fact — and because anyone quoting you a February figure today is quoting a superseded one. Work your own number on the plot cost calculator.

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

We could not complete an independent portal listing count for this scheme in this pass, so treat every number above as indicative rather than measured. The gap between the resale row and the pre-launch row is the whole story: the cheap number is attached to the land CDA has served a demolition notice on.

The honest part

• The name does not tell you which land you are buying. A buyer who searches “Naval Anchorage”, sees CDA’s Approved/Issued badge and stops there will never learn about the notices attached to the same page.
• CDA’s Block-A position is encroachment, not paperwork. Its case is that the land is inside another scheme’s approved plan and reserved for amenities — the category of land the courts have repeatedly held cannot be validly allotted to anyone.
• Fourteen years of notices without resolution cuts both ways. It shows CDA has not enforced; it also shows the dispute has never been settled in the developer’s favour either.
• A Navy-linked sponsor is not a legal status. Institutional branding is not an approval, and CDA’s notices are addressed to exactly that sponsor.

What to ask before you pay

• “Is this plot inside the 3,702.70 Kanal that carries the NOC?” Ask for it on the approved plan, not in words.
• “Show me the approved layout plan at the booking office” — CDA’s 20 August 2026 directive requires exactly that display.
• “Is this plot mortgaged with CDA?” The notices list sale of mortgaged plots as a live consequence.
• If the answer is Phase-II or Block-A, you are being offered land that CDA has, in writing, ordered demolished. Whatever the eventual outcome, price it as the litigation it is.

Against Bahria Enclave, plainly

Bahria Enclave carries its own CDA notices — we publish both of them on the legality page, including the NOC badge that reads “Not Issued”. The difference is scope. CDA’s Bahria Enclave notices are compliance complaints against an approved scheme: dues, vetting, development shortfalls. CDA’s Naval Anchorage notices say a large adjoining area was never approved at all and should be demolished.

Neither is a clean story. If you want the one where the land itself is not in question, that is the comparison to run — plot by plot, on the approved plan, in both schemes.

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
• 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
• F-15 and E-16
• Faisal Town & Faisal Hills
• Top City-1

And the story that runs through all of them: CDA’s 2025–26 enforcement wave.
