Appropriate token or biana

Aoa,

What exactly is the normal token money, biyana amount that one should be willing to pay for deals in lahore (dha) and how exactly can a purchaser make himself secure while paying biyana because as far as i know its only a cheap stamp paper and incase of default there is a lengthy and dreaded court procedure.

I recently walked away from a deal in phase 7 because the dealer asked for like 25% biana (20lac) even though my full payment was ready ... The only delay being the normal transfer procedure timeline.

20-Lacs biana is too much, 5-Lacs token is sufficient to lock any deal if you can manage the remaining payment in two weeks. Usually, investors do Biana for plots where they get time to arrange the remaining payment in 4-8 weeks. During this time period, investors prefer to sell that plot on higher price and get profit without paying the remaining amount to seller from his pocket. In your case, token is sufficient. You should take receipt of your token properly signed & stamped. Similarly, your dealer will get the token receipt from seller alongwith photocopy of allotment letter to apply NDC. In case if seller is run away during this time period, your dealer will submit that token receipt in DHA office alongwigh photocopy of allotment letter & DHA will declare that plot as Disputed. That means, now that plot can neither be sold or transferred to any other person until he clears his matter with you & you take back your complaint from DHA office.

Even 2-Lacs token is sufficient in ur case.

I hope now u would understand what i try to say

Dealer is trying to play with your money. 5 lac token is more than enough; however phase 7 prices have increased (about 10%) in last couple of months therefore try to close your deal asap.

Always go with a reputed dealer to avoid any surprises.

I 100 % agree to the above comments so I wont say anything.

20 lakh is too much biana. Max 5 lakh.
