The land acquisition is very very slow. According to my sources so far land acquired is about 25% of the need land for first phase and still many patched in the acquired land. I see this start on site for residential plots by early 2018 with current pace of land acquisition. Until then DHA Multan will keep interest of innocent investors by various gimmicks.
From the debacle of DHA Valley, DHA has learned or made to learn by Raheel Sharif that no DHA will be launched until required land is acquired. The recent examples are Bahawalpur and Peshawar. This is the very reason Multan and Gujranwala are been launched though acquisition started quite a time back.
We must understand the land around Multan is fertile land with small landholdings, there will be problem off course but eventually its really the price tag that will play role.
Notwithstanding of above the current price of file is attractive in comparison with the adjoining areas.
@Mohammad Zahid the gimicks u were talking about are true in case of Bahria Town but may b not in case of Dha. As per my info land acquisition of Phase 1 has been aquired. They want to aquire mximum land before lunching because post launching land owners will demand more price for their land. So this current situation of uncertainity certainly goes in favour of dha multan for aquiring land.
Agreed with @NR. Dha multan is i think one of the best place to invest in current time &space.
Zahid sb, I don't think the story u hv heard is correct. Very soon u wil see, how DHA Multan goes upward and launching...
Regards
Zahid, I don't know whats your source of info is but DHA has already acquired land for its phase 1 (2500 acres) and even town planning is in advance stage.
Now or in near future land acquisition will be for Phase 2 and future phases.
The total size of DHA will be 9000 acres from Bosan Road all the way to Khanewal Road thru Mattital Road, where the second gate is alreayd inaugurated by the Core Cmdr.
The DHA site area is topographically super cool, plain like a table top which had mango orchards and green fields.
Land was owned mostly by big landowners than small ones but big or small DHA is way past this stage coz they have acquired the area already.
DHA Multan is distinctive than any of the other new launches like Peshawar, Bahawalpur, Gujranwala. You can verify it from any sources that DHA Multan has the strongest holding and is way ahead from any other chapters, be it land acquisition, town planning and management performance.
I can safely say after Lahore and Karachi, DHA Multan will be the biggest. No other DHA Chapter is gone be of 9000 acres which DHA Multan has officially published to become.
Thannks MBS and Mr Khan
I have one more question.
If DHA Multan launches installments plots next year, then the prices of files may not rise ?
As in DHA Bahawalpur, after the launch of installment plots, the file prices have not increased.
What do u say ?
Gentlemen,
Thanks for your comments and see the webpage below.
Http://lrma.punjab-zameen.gov.pk/
This holds information about the land holders and see there are three villages in DHA Multan.
Ria pur
Sangi
Gahray whne
These village are in total and there are 7 villages in partial under dha multan.
Raipur where major land acquisition is done only holds approximately 2200 kanals of land in dha name. There are many big plots in peoples name which should be in dha name.
Then next big chunk of land is in Gaharay Whne and Noodhand. There is only one plot of land nearing 8 kanal in sangi transferred to dha name. I spent quite a while in searching all the land and i can say with surety that there are big patches of land everywhere which will not allow DHA to start development work other than what they are doing on the main road.
Please be assured that i am not a dealer or I am also think that this as my potential investment option but due deligence is better than believing uneducated, cunning dealers to make informed decisions. I would welcome if you have different source of information as authentic as this.
Zahid, you nailed it bro... Wow thats hell of due diligence before investment. Good learning for me i guess. Just one question..did you visit the area as well or its was all desktop research? My family has holding in the area(cattle farms),we were approached by middle men but we declined due to shabby practices by these goons in the area. I know may small landowners here and there who also declined. But its mostly price thing.....
Secondly there are many litigating issues within families who have sold the land to DHA(new owners or real ones have cropped up). Initially when price was above 40, the acquisation was easy but with price, landowners are better off in agriculture. DHA needs to do something if they are listening:))
Dear MBS
Zahid has done great homework.
I also searched the entire Raipur area from this website and found 1200 kanal in DHA name. So, i concur with Zahid.
I want you to comment on Mr Zahid's point. He has clearly mentioned his source.
How do u say that DHA Multan has 2500 acres of land and what is your source ?
You must answer here as u started this thread.
Thanx
Dear Ali,
Raipur nearly 2000 kanal
Garay Wayne 700 kanal
Noodhand 2100 kanals
Sangi 8 kanals
Raipur is part of phase 1 and should be all clear but has lot of patches in the name of locals. These pockets will delay development works. 2500 acre makes 20,000 kanals but land in four villages listed on land record system is far less than being told in the market.
IF BUYER PAYS HIGHER PRICE MORE WILL BE SELLERS OF FILE AND MORE NEW LAND WILL COME IN. And if they say truth file price will go down and farmers will not be interested to convert their land into file.
I may be wrong in all this and someone knows more than this. We are here to help each other in making right decision. When crooks support each other why not general public benefit from each other knowledge.
So please if someone can share more info would be appreciated
Dear Zahid,
Can u inform that when this web is updated?
Secondly did u check another society like dha9 or someone else?
Zahid sb, I appreciate ur efforts and information u shared here. I would request if you can post this info on LRE Website, which is more oriented towards Lahore and adjacent areas property market. There you will have healthy discussion and exchange of info. On Zameen.com, we mostly have people from Islamabad.

All above information is not true and not even worth wasting our more than 3 minute time to answer it.
Any person can check his own DHA Multan file number and each file of one kanal is only issued against 4 kanal given to DHA Multan free of cost. Multiply each file number with four and you know how much land DHA Multan already have in possession. Keep in mind in addition to file numbers you have in there could be still 1000s more kanal where people have given land to DHA but not have yet applied to get affidavit issued to sell these files :) So multiply it with even larger numbers .
Some people never grow
Thanks for sharing Junaid sb.
Long way is still to go in order to completely computerize the land record of punjab land and make it functional. Regular updates in land record, integrating system with sale / purchase of lands, dependency on the system for court matters / land cases etc. I red in news some days ago that this system has not yet been fully made functional due so many issues and still needs lot more time.
Dear Zahid, good work. I tried looking into the database and here are my findings:
I could only find DHA ownership in Mouza Noudhand about 1000 kanal, may be i am clicking some wrong fields..
I could not find mouza madina, which is one of the largest. Please retrieve info for mouza madina.
It did not retrieve any results for DHA in raipur.
These mouzas: Raipur, Garhe wyne, Gith Barabar are at the beginning of the controlled area, i mean near bosan road and currently have small pockets of villages. But the size of these mouzas is not as big as Mouza Madina, Sangi, Noudhand, etc.
I completely support your due diligence but i'd certainly raise a flag on the completeness of this database. For instance, not all the mouzas mentioned in dha controlled area are listed in there.
You dont get dha ownership results in all the mouzas.
To double check i tried checking nearby mouzas where i personally know some landlords, even their names don't appear in the respective mouzas.
Another point is the land records have not been completely computerized for Multan yet. There are only four cities with updated land records far as i know, Lahore, hafiz abad and lodhran.
So my whole point is whilst the info on this site is useful its NOT the complete info.
I have briefly visited the site, not all of it but at least halfway from bosan road towards mattital and i did not spot any huge villages except small pockets which would naturally be there like any other country side.
I take your point on small villages in gith braber, garhe wyne, raipur but these are rather smaller mouzas compared to madina, sangi, noudhand which will comprise majority of dha area.
Again this is what i know, not the absolute info, so please feel free to disagree. :)
Agreed with R A Khan, its certainly not an updated database.
Junaid, I dont know if you represent Lahore real estate or only copy/pasting their response but you can not brush aside anyones information without giving yours. We all know DHA multan one files=4 kanal but what we dont know is the total number of files. If you know the number it will be helpful for everybody.If CMY knows it, i can speak with him as well.
Thank You MBS for your detailed input.
Dear All,
I also use LRE website and is very useful but there are no clear rules on the site. In case of disagreement you IP can be blocked and then you are left with the option of using another ID or tweaking your current ID. On this site i started to post with my full name. I never claimed that i went to Multan and sat with patwaris but i revealed my source and invited you further research. This is very useful tool in the future once record is computerized then ghost societies can be avoided.
I found 4 villages on Punjab govt's land record site with following numbers
Sangi = 8 kanal
Raipur = 1700 kanals
Noodhand = 2000 kanals
Girth wahyne = 700 kanals
But this morning CMY posted the image of latest file numbers issued recently which is 3076. According to this nearly 13000 Kanals of land is transferred to DHA. So this land is equivalent of 65% needed for the first phase of DHA Multan.
Someone recently mentioned here back end of 2016 that sounds more realistic for balloting.
I mentioned in my previous post that i see DHA Multan as my investment candidate and that's why i am interested about this to know more. So far my property knowledge is limited to prism where i have only one plot.
