Property Tax in Faisalabad (TY 2026-27)
Faisalabad property tax guide TY 2026-27 - textile-belt FBR valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E deemed income, Punjab stamp duty, PLRA registry.
Faisalabad property transactions face the federal stack - Section 236C 3%/10% seller WHT, Section 236K 3%/10.5% buyer WHT, Section 7E on properties above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT within five years - plus Punjab stamp duty (1-3%) and PLRA registration fees. As Pakistan's textile manufacturing capital, industrial-property transactions form a much larger share of Faisalabad's deal flow than in other Punjabi cities.
FBR's Faisalabad valuation table is organised by zone - D-Ground, People's Colony, and Madina Town command the top per-marla rates; industrial belts around Sargodha Road and Jaranwala Road have their own commercial-rate cards. The textile-mill ecosystem also drives a steady flow of factory transfers, where Section 236C/236K base on commercial valuations rather than residential.
Transfer tax in Faisalabad: worked example
Federal withholding on a property transfer is a percentage of the FBR-notified value - not the declared sale price - and the non-filer rate is more than triple the filer rate. These rates apply nationwide, including Faisalabad; the Faisalabad-specific variable is which valuation zone your property falls in.
| FBR value | Buyer 236K (filer 3%) | Buyer 236K (non-filer 10.5%) | Seller 236C (filer 3%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rs 10,000,000 | Rs 300,000 | Rs 1,050,000 | Rs 300,000 |
| Rs 25,000,000 | Rs 750,000 | Rs 2,625,000 | Rs 750,000 |
| Rs 50,000,000 | Rs 1,500,000 | Rs 5,250,000 | Rs 1,500,000 |
| Rs 100,000,000 | Rs 3,000,000 | Rs 10,500,000 | Rs 3,000,000 |
Section 236K (buyer) is 3% for filers / 10.5% for non-filers; Section 236C (seller) is 3% for filers / 10% for non-filers of the FBR-notified value. Property above PKR 25M FBR value also falls under Section 7E deemed-income tax. Rates are national; Faisalabad valuation zones set the base value the percentages apply to.
How a property transfer is taxed in Faisalabad
- Find your property's zone in the FBR valuation table for Faisalabad - this notified value, not your contract price, is the base for every federal withholding. FBR's Faisalabad table separates D-Ground, People's Colony, Madina Town, and industrial-belt zones - D-Ground and People's Colony top the table.
- The buyer pays Section 236K advance tax and the seller pays Section 236C, both collected at the point of registration by the Punjab Land Records Authority · Sub-Registrar Faisalabad.
- Confirm both parties' Active Taxpayer List status before the transfer date - the filer rate cannot be claimed retroactively if you were a non-filer on the day of registration.
- Provincial stamp duty, capital value tax, and registration fees are charged by Punjab on top of the federal WHT above.
- Claim the 236K / 236C amounts as adjustable advance tax on your annual IRIS return - keep the challans and the registered deed as evidence.
Buyer & seller checklist

- Look up the FBR valuation-zone rate for the property.

- Budget for stamp duty, CVT, and registration fees separately.

- Retain the purchase deed to compute the gain accurately.
- Report the disposal and adjust 236C on your IRIS return.
