Property Tax in Bahawalpur (TY 2025-26)
Bahawalpur property tax guide TY 2025-26 — Model Town, Satellite Town, Cantt FBR valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, Punjab stamp duty, PLRA.
Bahawalpur property transactions face the federal stack (Section 236C 3%/10% seller, Section 236K 3%/10.5% buyer, Section 7E above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT) plus Punjab stamp duty (1-3%) and PLRA registration. As the regional commercial center for South Punjab's livestock trade, Bahawalpur sees mixed residential and commercial flow concentrated along Multan Road and the city core.
FBR's Bahawalpur valuation table places Model Town and Satellite Town at the top, followed by Cantonment areas. Inner-city zones (Farid Gate, Shahdara Chowk) sit lower per marla. Livestock-market commercial lots along the city's periphery command separate commercial valuations that often differ sharply from residential rate cards.
Frequently asked questions
How much WHT on a Bahawalpur Model Town home?
Section 236K 3% (filer) / 10.5% (non-filer) of FBR-notified value plus Section 236C 3%/10% on the seller. PLRA Sub-Registrar collects at transfer.
Are livestock-market commercial lots taxed separately?
Same rate structure (3%/10%) but different valuation base — FBR's commercial-zone rate cards apply rather than residential rates.
Does Section 7E apply in Bahawalpur?
Yes — Section 7E is federal and applies to all immovable property above PKR 25M FBR-notified value, though fewer Bahawalpur properties cross the threshold.
