DHA Multan review: legal status, possession sectors and plot prices

DHA Multan stands on DHA Lahore’s legal footing: its own regulations call it a chapter of DHA Lahore, a statutory authority, so it doesn’t need an MDA approval. It was launched in 2017, and DHA listed 11 sectors with possession in 2026. Prices are the weak point: on Zameen, the average 10 marla plot was Rs 53 lakh in August 2026, below the Rs 80 lakh DHA charged in its own 2021 sale.

Is DHA Multan legal, and does it need MDA approval?

Its legal basis is DHA Lahore’s law, not a Multan Development Authority (MDA) approval. DHA Multan’s Construction & Development Regulations (revised July 2023) say it is “chapter of Defence Housing Authority Lahore”. DHA Lahore was reconstituted by Chief Executive’s Order No. 26 of 2002, published in the Gazette of Pakistan on 19 September 2002.

The regulations, DHA’s own building and development rules, cover DHA Multan’s “Specified as well as Notified Area”. DHA’s FAQ says foreign demand drafts are made out to “DHA Lahore-Multan Chapter”.

We found no separate gazette notice that sets out DHA Multan’s own area. We also couldn’t check MDA’s lists, because MDA’s websites didn’t load for us on 16 October 2026.

Which DHA Multan sectors have possession?

Possession means handing over a developed plot you can build on. A DHA notice valid to 31 March 2026 names 11 possession sectors: M, Q, R, H, U, A, V, I, N, B1 and G.

DHA’s FAQ says its villas have possession, and Zameen reported in August 2023 that the Rumanza golf community did too. The location ballot, the draw that gave file holders a plot number, was held on 31 July 2019.

Block T, where DHA sold 5 marla plots in July 2021, is not on the 2026 possession list, and neither is Sector D. People search for possession dates in Sectors T, P and D, but we found no DHA notice for them as of October 2026.

What are DHA Multan plot prices?

DHA doesn’t publish a price list for resale plots, so we use Zameen’s listing index. It averages asking prices across all of DHA Multan, so a change in which sectors are listed moves the number.

The 5 marla average was about Rs 16.7 lakh in February 2017, and it slipped about 5% between August 2024 and August 2026.

The 10 marla average rose from about Rs 24.3 lakh in April 2017 to Rs 53.04 lakh in August 2026, including a 12% rise in the last year.

DHA’s own direct-sale prices tell a different story. In July 2021, DHA sold 5 marla plots (Block T) for Rs 50 lakh and 10 marla plots (Blocks B1 and U) for Rs 80 lakh, on a three-year plan with 10% down. Both are far above today’s listing averages.

We couldn’t confirm why: some listings may quote only the amount paid so far on a file, or be in sectors without possession. Ask the seller what is still owed to DHA.

What are DHA Multan possession charges and development waivers?

DHA’s FAQ lists development charges for Sectors M, Q, R, H, U, A, V, T, I, N, B1 and G, but only as an image we couldn’t read, so we don’t quote amounts. What DHA has published in text is its waiver scheme.

• Sectors V, N, B1, U, I and G: 75% of development charges waived when the grey structure is complete, and 25% on occupancy.
• Sectors M, Q, R, A and H: 50% waived on occupancy.
• Dates: valid 1 December 2025 to 31 October 2026, for plots in DHA’s BID, Direct Sale, Expo and RCP categories.
• Penalty: after those dates, a non-construction penalty of 10% of development charges a year applies.

DHA’s regulations also say you must start building within 3 years of possession being announced. For General Public plots, DHA cut its late-payment surcharge from 24% to 14% a year from 1 January 2025.

Does DHA Multan have gas, electricity and water?

• Electricity: DHA Multan has its own 132kV grid station. By March 2023, Sectors M, Q, R, A and U, Rumanza, the Main Boulevard and the Ring Road were energised. In July 2025 DHA said energisation was still going on sector by sector.
• Gas: we found no DHA or SNGPL source on gas supply in DHA Multan as of October 2026.
• Water: we found no source on how water is supplied.

Ask DHA in writing about gas and water for your sector before you pay.

Who runs DHA Multan, and has it delivered?

DHA Multan is run by a Project Management Committee chaired by Lt Gen Ahsan Gulrez, with Brig Kashif Naeem Khan Burki as Project Director, as of October 2026. Zameen reported in 2019 that the scheme covers about 9,000 acres.

Since its 2017 launch, it has delivered 11 sectors, villas and a golf course that opened to the public on 1 March 2022. On 15 July 2026, DHA ended its agreement with Al Mani Developers for commercial plazas in Sector D, citing “persistent non-fulfillment of obligations”.

How easy is it to resell a DHA Multan plot?

Zameen showed 3,352 plots for sale in DHA Multan on 16 October 2026.

DHA’s FAQ says villa transfers can also be done at its sub-offices in Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, which helps buyers who live outside Multan. Our guide to buying property as an overseas Pakistani covers the paperwork, and tax on property sales explains what you pay when you sell.
