CDA E-Ballot: Affected Plots in Islamabad

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has set out a major step meant to settle long-standing property grievances in several Islamabad sectors.

Because layout plans were revised historically, many allottees dealt with canceled allotments, resized plots, shifted locations, or delayed physical possession. To handle these matters openly, the civic body introduced an automated e-balloting system through the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA).

Over the years, many investors and genuine plot buyers, including overseas citizens who invested back in the 1990s and early 2000s, faced troubles from revised sector maps and discrepancies. In some instances, original 1-kanal allocations were curtailed to smaller sizes such as 14 marlas or 10 marlas, plot numbers were arbitrarily modified, or properties were reallocated to unfavorable locations, including depression areas or terrain beside seasonal nullahs. The newly notified initiative gives affected allottees a structured route to regularize and recover their legitimate plots without cost.

The relief program covers ten key residential sectors in the federal capital. These include sectors I-11, I-12, I-13, I-14, and I-15, as well as E-12, E-13, C-13, C-14, C-15, and C-16.

Demand for residential plots across these zones has grown considerably over time, making fair resolution vital for preserving investor trust in Islamabad’s property sector.

To participate in the NADRA-administered e-balloting, allottees had to meet formal verification rules. Claimants needed to send an official application to the Directorate of Land Rehabilitation. The submission had to include a valid allotment letter certified by a Grade-16 or higher government officer. The application also needed the property owner to explain the plot issue precisely, such as an altered plot number, reduced dimensions, adverse terrain allocation, or full cancellation from revised layout drawings. After review, verified claimants were placed into the automated e-balloting pool for reallocation.

At the same time, land recovery and anti-encroachment work continued in sectors such as E-13 and other stalled development zones. Authorities reclaimed sizable encroached land to prepare development work and help legitimate owners. Higher administrative directions set a clear line: people with lawful registries and verified documents would be fully accommodated and assisted, while unauthorized occupants without valid legal standing would not receive benefits.

Sector C-14 also received major focus, a prime site near Margalla Hills and Iran Avenue. It sits beside developing infrastructure, an international-standard cricket stadium, and planned luxury commercial facilities, and it offers only 1-kanal residential plots. With major roadway work, including rapid works on Kashmir Chowk, Serena Chowk, and the Margalla Enclave underpass, improving federal capital connectivity, fixing sector layout issues was expected to release substantial value for owners.

The automated and verified balloting framework marks an important step toward administrative transparency, offering much-needed relief to property owners awaiting their lawful possession and revitalizing confidence across Islamabad’s civic planning landscape, as noted at plots.com.pk.
