Bahria Town Lahore’s Sector F has been stuck in limbo for a while now. Despite being launched in 2012, there has been no real news about where people will be getting the plots they paid for. File owners have also protested to get possession of their property. Recently, a document was circulated within different stakeholder groups, seemingly pointing to a resolution. Given that there have been many rumours about the project in the past, we decided to look into the matter to see whether an end to the story was really in sight.
As a developer, Bahria Town, has a strong tradition of coming up with societies that investors can be proud of owning. And in the past, it has made several offers to people who have paid for plots in Sector F, including adjusting their plots in Bahria Orchard, proposing allotting them property in other blocks within Bahria Town, and even offering to buy the files back at the market rate. However, investors have not seemed interested in these offers for valid reasons.
File owners do not think that Bahria Orchard’s location can compare to what they were getting in Sector F. Since the people investing were largely genuine buyers, they opted not to sell their files back because they were looking to build homes, not invest for profit. Moreover, Bahria Town did try to buy back the property at current market rates, but because of the controversy surrounding Sector F, prices aren’t that great at the moment.
Some file owners who cleared their dues were allotted alternate plots in several sectors, including Talha Block, last year, but many others are still waiting for a solution to their property woes. Several rounds of negotiations have been held between Bahria Town’s management and the victims until now, but the issue still stands.
The document, pictured below, has not been issued on any letterhead. No one has signed it, although ‘SGM Customer Service’ has been written at the bottom, there’s no telling what SGM even stands for. From the looks of it, the letter does not seem to be authentic.
Tall claims?
The contents of the letter are what most people find interesting. It reads that despite trying hard Bahria Town has been unable to carry on with Sector F in Lahore. It has therefore decided that file owners will be offered property in Bahria Town Karachi (BTK). The letter also apologises to those affected by the delays, and offers compensation.
It furthermore claims that Bahria Town is offering 10-marla and 1-kanal alternate plots in BTK to the owners of Sector F 10-marla and 1-kanal plot files. As per the letter, the value of these 10-marla and 1-kanal alternate plots in BTK is PKR 6.5 million and PKR 10 million.
The letter further reads that the map of these alternate plots will be released in April and the possession of plots will be offered to the owners on October 31. To confirm if this document has been issued by Bahria Town, I called them and learned exactly what I expected: Bahria hasn’t issued any such letter.
Bahria Town could perhaps make such an offer to settle issues with Sector F affectees in the future. For now, however, this letter should be taken with a pinch of salt. There is no telling whether such a deal will ever be offered officially.
While we wait for Bahria Town to give us an official verdict on the matter, tell me what you think; is this an offer that you would take up? Can a plot in Sector F be replaced with one in BTK? Let me know in the comments section below.
recently got possession of my plot in tipu sultan block of sector F and house construction also started in area.
I recently got possession in tipu sultan block in sector F and house construction started in area. better buy on ground plots.
In current circumstances which block is a good deal in sector F if someone has a plot there or wants to buy a plot (10 Marla) there?
Which block is a good deal in sector F bearing in mind the LRRS, if someone would like to buy a plot there or someone has a plot there from future standpoint?
Discuss it with Atiq-ur-Rehman: +92-335-331-3300.
They have given me plot in shershah block but the land is not belongs to Bahria.
This is very unfortunate situation with us and we are not finding it easy as relay their is no plat form available to handle this situation.
I also have plots in Tipu , possession for that is ready and documents are ready to get. But other blocks like Abubakar and SHAIKH Sadi and Alamgir are not on ground , these probably might be compensated . But who will take in BTK instead of BTL , at least I wouldn’t.
I have 10 marla plot in bahria sector f for aziz bhatti block im thinking of getting compensation instead of waiting what are prices for 10 marla files for sector f
You can latest update on rates from Atiq-u-Rehman sahb by giving him a call at +92-335-331-3300.
AOA what about golf view affectees
AOA what about golf view residencia affectees
No update on that so far.
Hi, thanks for the updates, however there are many with 5 Marla files in Sector F, what is the information regarding this, its not mentioned in your post.
Either they will be compensated too or no news.
We’ll not avail this offer. We invested in sector-F Lahore and we want on-ground plots in sector-F only, therefore BT Karachi is not an attractive option for us.

AOA, Can you please update on Sector E – Non Grounded Plots 10 Marla.
AOA, Can you please update me about Sector E, Iqbal Block – 10 Marla Plot – which is Un Grounded.
It’s very negative tactic by Bahria town. We have purchased plot to build our home and not to get adjusted in other city. This option of Bahria Town karachi adjustment will not be acceptable at all. I have a plot in Sheikh Saadi and waiting for development. We have a what’s app group and gathering more members to join us so we can meet with Bahria Town chairman in a group. If anyone wishes to join, plz do contact with me at 00973-33888906. Please stand up for your right.
ashfaq sab, I sent msg on whatsapp, plz add me also.
Hi, me along with many clients are stuck with these blocks in sector F. Bahria is failing to deliver & losing its credibility. Shifting to karachi is pathetic, as allocations will be made in cheap undeveloped blocks by bahria. Which again mean we lose our money, bahria should make sure that all investors get decent returns in 4 years of hold. Otherwise this is the end of bahria when it comes to future projects and it credibility.
I believe that no one from Sector F would like to go for this option of BTK. The people bought Plots in Lahore to build their homes in Lahore not in Karachi. Yes for investors , no problem, they can go anywhere and they have their circle to sell/buy. But Please its a humble request to BT Lahore to not to defame their honour/reputation in the market as I believe that already they are and have suffered a lot. If they cannot manage in sector F then they have the capacity to adjust all the members within the Bahria Town canal Road and Bahria Orchard or nearby somewhere else. But why a buyer of lahore will move to karachi just for that BTL could not give the plots to people in the announced area. No way, they have land and they have resources so its better for BTL to avoid such techniques to further disappoint the public and to save their honour as well. People are not trusting the BTL anymore for plots on File/installment system as they have lost the confidence in sector F. If they are good and wish to keep their goodwill they can adjust the sector F affectees in their new Project of EX. Ittefaq Foundry. This note has been given in positive sense without having any ngative intention as Bahria Town is doing well in in the existing Bahria Lahore. May Allah give them capacity & courage to compensate the affectee in lahore ASAP to close the problem.
Its very cruel act.
Ms Zulfiqar,
I’m sorry to comment, you haven’t shared any new information! This pic of the letter has been circulating on the groups since a week. We actually expect a more inside information from professional bloggers like you. It is much easier for you guys to dig out the true picture & portray! Anyway thanks a lot!
We invested our hard earned savings on Bahria schemes. They must consider the current affecties (of LRR / GVR / Sector-F eyc) before launching new projects and WE THE PUBLIC, must show some reaction by rejecting new projects till the old matters solved.
I personally met Major Saab during my last vacations (Jan-17) and he asked me to make a written application for alternate plot allotment, which I did & got official receipt stamp from his secretary. No response till now & he is not even replying calls / messages! Bahria continues launching new projects and WE THE PUBLIC are flocking to buy. They shall, for sure continue this exploitation unless we response negatively to their new projects! Folks, wake-up!
I have done the same but no update so far.
it isn’t even on the letter head.
I have 10 marala Aziz Bhatti block park facing ,3500000 I have to pay more for park facing ,tell me please ,when its map and possession will come ,insha allah .
will baheria compensate us for files that v bought about 14 years back in rawalpindi phase 9.is this justice.
We are providing complete interior designing services in lahore including Wallpaper, Wooden Floors, Vinyl Flooring, Blinds, Carpets, Designing and turn key projects with Home services for sample selection and delivery installation.
That’s right, Why should we avail this offer. We invested in sector-F Lahore and we want on-ground plots in sector-F only.Our families are in lahore and most of them settled in Bahria Town and I am waiting for on ground plot to start construction, Even 1 canal for 10M in karachi doesn’t mean to us,by selling that can we get I kanal in good society in lahore for construction. Bahria Town management should come up with good solution, it’s almost 4 years that we invested in this project.
Why not file a bulk of omplaints to NAB. Key to success is large number of individual complaints. We have to take Malik Raiz to task, no doubt he is influential person but we should not loose hope.
What about 5 marla plots, no update on these in your post.
I am a Lahori and would not prefer BTK at all.
Give me plot in sector F
I have done the same but no update so far.
We’ll not avail this offer. We invested in sector-F Lahore and we want on-ground plots in sector-F only, therefore BT Karachi is not an attractive option for us.
Its very cruel act.
Any updates about Sector F affectees.
