Frequently Asked Questions

What are the official FBR Fair Market Value (FMV) rates for Karachi property under Section 68?

FBR Fair Market Value (FMV) for immovable property in Karachi is governed under Section 68(4) of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 via gazette notification S.R.O. 1564(I)/2022. It establishes statutory minimum benchmark rates per Marla or Sq. Yard across Categories I-IX across Clifton, DHA Phases I-VIII, PECHS, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, North Nazimabad, Malir, Korangi, and Bahria Town Karachi, eliminating under-declaration risks during deed registration.

Under the Income Tax Ordinance, Active Filers pay 1.25% advance tax on property purchase under Section 236K and 2.75% on property sale under Section 236C for Tax Year 2027.

What provincial stamp duty, TMA tax, and mutation charges apply to Karachi property transactions?

In Karachi, transactions require Government of Sindh Stamp Duty (2% on DC/FBR benchmark via Sindh e-Stamping), 1% Town / KMC transfer tax, and Sub-Registrar / KDA / MDA / DHA Karachi mutation charges.

How is constructed house and commercial building valuation calculated in Karachi?

Constructed real estate in Karachi is assessed under the statutory superstructure formula: Total FMV = (Plot Land Area × Notified Rate per Marla/Sq.Yd) + (Covered Area in Sq.Ft × Notified Superstructure Rate). Residential construction up to 5 years old is assessed at PKR 1,500/sq.ft (commercial at PKR 2,200/sq.ft), while structures older than 5 years are assessed with statutory depreciation.

How do I declare Karachi property in FBR IRIS Form 116 Wealth Statement and Section 7E?

Properties must be declared in your annual FBR IRIS Form 116 Wealth Statement balance sheet at historical acquisition cost. However, the FBR Section 68 FMV serves as the legal benchmark for Section 7E (1% deemed rental income tax on aggregate assets exceeding Rs. 25M) and for computing Capital Gains Tax (CGT) under Section 37 upon future disposal.

How can I check Karachi DC rate and compare it with FBR property valuation?

You can verify official Karachi DC rates (notified by the Deputy Commissioner and District Collector) alongside FBR Section 68 valuation using our Karachi property valuation tool. DC rates determine provincial e-stamping duty and TMA taxes, while FBR valuation determines federal income tax (Sections 236K and 236C). For tax assessment under Section 68, the higher of the declared transaction value, the FBR FMV, or the provincial DC rate is applied.
