Federal Board of Revenue has issued revised property valuation rates for Islamabad, cutting values by 30 to 50 per cent after demands from traders.
According to an official notification, the FBR revalued residential and commercial plots at 68 different locations across the federal capital of Islamabad city areas nationwide.
In Sector B-17, valuations for possession plots were reduced from Rs50,000 to Rs30,000 per square yard, while non-possession plots were cut sharply under revised rates.
The notification said non-possession plot rates in Sector B-17 were slashed from Rs40,000 to Rs15,000 per square yard under revised assessment rules issued by FBR.
Under SRO-163, the FBR stated valuation rates notified through SRO-2390 dated 12 December 2025 would now be applicable across Islamabad’s residential commercial and rural areas.

In Islamabad’s high-value areas, plot valuations in Sector E-7 were cut from Rs600,000 to Rs225,000 per square yard following revised notification issued by revenue authorities.
Similarly, valuation rates in sectors F-6 and F-7 were reduced from Rs500,000 to Rs210,000 per square yard under revised FBR notification issued this month officially.
The revised rates are expected to provide relief to the real estate sector and encourage property transactions in the capital according to officials cited sources.
However, the FBR suspended the revised valuation rates on December 16, just six days after issuing them on December 10, 2025 through official notification issued.
