Property Buying & Legal Transfer Guide
A complete 5-step roadmap for local and overseas Pakistanis purchasing real estate in Chichawatni Tehsil safely and legally.
5-Step Buying Checklist
Verify Ownership via PLRA (Arazi Record Center)
Before making any advance payment (Biyana), always verify the official Fard Malkiat (Ownership Record) through Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA) Arazi Record Center Chichawatni. Confirm that the seller's CNIC and name match the official land register (Khewat / Khatooni).
Check Municipal & Housing Society Approvals
Verify whether the colony or housing scheme is approved by District Planning & Design Committee (DPDC Sahiwal) or Municipal Committee Chichawatni. Ensure the plot has NOC for utilities (WAPDA electricity, gas, water supply).
Draft Formal Agreement (Iqrar Nama / Biyana)
Prepare a legally binding agreement on official judicial stamp paper stating full plot/house demarcation, boundaries, total price agreement, payment schedule, and clear possession date witnessed by respected local advisers.
FBR Tax Status & Stamp Duty Payment
Check active taxpayer status on FBR Iris portal. Active tax filers enjoy lower withholding tax rates during property registration. Generate e-Stamp papers from Treasury / Bank of Punjab Chichawatni branch.
Execute Sale Deed Registry & Biometric Mutation
Appear before Sub-Registrar Tehsil Chichawatni for official Sale Deed (Baye Nama) registration, followed by computerized biometric mutation (Intiqal) at PLRA Arazi Record Center to seal title in the Punjab land database.
