Illegal Housing Societies in Islamabad

List of Illegal Housing Societies in Islamabad

Introduction

The issue of illegal housing schemes in Islamabad has become a matter of concern for both residents and potential investors. In Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, the issue of illegal housing schemes has been a persistent problem.  Capital Development Authority (CDA) plays a crucial role in identifying and taking action against these unauthorized projects. Also, CDA has the primary role in regulating the development and approval of housing societies in the city. However, despite their efforts, several housing schemes have emerged without obtaining the necessary No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the CDA.  We will delve into the details of illegal housing schemes in Islamabad, focusing on the actions taken by the CDA and the impact on residents and investors. This blog aims to shed light on the illegal housing schemes in Islamabad and the consequences they entail for investors and residents.

Understanding CDA's Approval Process

To comprehend the gravity of the issue, it is important to understand the two-tier approval process implemented by the CDA. The first step involves the submission of necessary documents by the housing society to the CDA for analysis. If the society fulfills the criteria, a Letter of Possession (LOP) is issued, followed by the issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for subsequent private housing schemes. It is crucial to note that the development and sale of plots can only commence after obtaining the NOC from the CDA.

List of Illegal Housing Societies in Islamabad

The CDA regularly updates the list of illegal housing societies operating in different zones and sectors of Islamabad. These societies have failed to obtain the necessary NOC from the CDA, making them unauthorized and risky for potential investors. Let's explore some prominent examples:
