| Item | CDA record | Buyer meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Affected scheme | Bahria Town Phase III-E & IV, Zone 5, Islamabad | Match the exact phase and plot; do not generalise by brand name |
| Earlier LOP | Approved 8 December 2010 subject to conditions | An earlier layout approval no longer describes the latest published decision |
| NOC | CDA says prerequisites were not completed; scheme page lists NOC Not Issued | Ask CDA for a fresh written status before payment or transfer |
| Decision | LOP cancelled / withdrawn with immediate effect | Review current transfer, building-plan and enforcement position with CDA and counsel |
| Other actions | Building-plan approvals suspended; processing of other BTPL cases suspended, as stated in the letter | Do not infer outcomes beyond the wording and jurisdiction of the letter |
CDA issued a second notice on 17 September concerning a revised and extended layout-plan request for different phases.
| Matter | Phases | Status described by CDA |
|---|---|---|
| Cancellation / withdrawal | Phase III-E & IV | Earlier 2010 LOP withdrawn by the 14 September 2026 letter |
| Revised-plan observations | Phases II, III, V & VI | Separate observations on a revised and extended LOP request; not the same cancellation notice |
| Bahria Town Lahore | Lahore projects and sectors | Not identified as affected by this Islamabad Zone 5 notice |
A logo, allotment letter or older approval copy is not enough after a newer regulatory action.
| Check | Evidence to obtain | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Exact phase and plot | Plot number on the latest authority plan | The action is phase-specific |
| Current authority status | Fresh written CDA confirmation and latest public notices | CDA's summary page and newer notice currently show different stages of the record |
| Transfer and building status | Written confirmation from the competent CDA office | The letter also addresses building-plan processing |
| Title, dues and litigation | Title chain, dues statement and independently reviewed court orders | Later proceedings may change implementation |
| Payment safety | Official demand, receiving account, refund and cancellation terms | Avoid irreversible payment based on verbal assurance |
CDA's notice cancels or withdraws the layout plan dated 8 December 2010 for Bahria Town Phase III-E & IV, Zone 5 Islamabad.
The attached authority letter is dated 14 September 2026 and CDA published the public notice on 17 September 2026.
CDA's current scheme page lists NOC status as Not Issued. The cancellation letter also says prerequisites for obtaining the NOC were not completed.
The 17 September CDA listing treats Phases II, III, V & VI separately through observations on a revised and extended layout-plan request. FPN does not merge that matter with the Phase III-E & IV cancellation.
The identified CDA action concerns Phase III-E & IV in Zone 5 Islamabad. It does not establish cancellation of Bahria Town Lahore projects or sectors.
Buyers should not rely on the older summary entry alone because CDA later published the cancellation letter. Ask CDA for the latest written status for the exact property.
CDA's Directorate of Housing Societies states that the layout plan approved on 8 December 2010 for Bahria Town Phase III-E & IV, Zone 5 Islamabad is cancelled or withdrawn with immediate effect. The notice identifies the sponsor as M/s Bahria Town (Pvt.) Ltd. and describes the affected approved scheme area as 2,999 kanal.
The letter says the sponsor did not comply with the approval conditions or complete NOC prerequisites over roughly 15 years. CDA also alleges development and sale before NOC, violations of the approved plan, and construction affecting land identified for parks, graveyard, riverbed or other public uses. These are CDA's stated regulatory grounds; FPN is reporting the authority record rather than making an independent legal finding.
The same letter states that approval of building plans for the subject scheme is suspended. It also says processing or approval of other cases of M/s BTPL is suspended because CDA regards the sponsor as a defaulter. Buyers should ask the competent authority how these directions affect the exact plot, building or pending transaction rather than assuming either a universal freeze or business as usual.
CDA's scheme-summary page still shows the 8 December 2010 LOP as Approved and NOC as Not Issued, while the newer dated public notice expressly withdraws that LOP. This is a material record inconsistency. The safer approach is to cite the newer notice and request a fresh written confirmation from CDA before relying on an online status label.
On the same public-notices date, CDA published observations regarding a request for approval of a revised and extended layout plan for Bahria Town Phases II, III, V & VI. That document is not the Phase III-E & IV cancellation. The records must be read separately, particularly where phase names and older approvals overlap.
The notice identifies Zone 5 Islamabad and the affected phases by name. It does not identify Canton Sky Tower, Meridian Living, Bahria Town Lahore or other Lahore projects. FPN therefore does not apply the Islamabad cancellation to Lahore by association.
Pause any fresh token or balance payment until the exact phase and plot are matched to the latest CDA record. Obtain written transfer and building-status confirmation, review title and litigation with independent counsel, reconcile all dues, and preserve official receipts. A sales representative's message or an older approval letter should not replace current authority verification.
The verified update is specific: CDA has published a letter withdrawing the layout plan of Bahria Town Phase III-E & IV, Zone 5 Islamabad, with immediate effect. Separate phases and Bahria Town Lahore must not be pulled into the headline without their own authority record.

Published by FPN on 21 September 2026 from CDA's public-notice page posted 17 September 2026 and the attached four-page letter dated 14 September 2026. The letter cancels/withdraws the 8 December 2010 layout plan for Bahria Town Phase III-E & IV, Zone 5 Islamabad, over the 2,999-kanal area stated in the notice, with immediate effect. CDA's separate scheme-summary page still displays the older LOP entry as Approved and NOC as Not Issued; buyers should rely on the newer dated notice and obtain a fresh written status directly from CDA. FPN has not treated this as action against Bahria Town Lahore or as a finding about every Bahria Town phase. Information may change after publication; always obtain the latest official document before acting.
