No Demand Certificate (NDC)
The first step in executing any transfer is to confirm whether the property in question has any outstanding dues or not. This is important because if you are buying a plot or file that is scheduled for installment payments, or any plot that has pending development charges, DHA needs to check to ensure that all dues are clear before executing any transfer. This is also beneficial for the buyer, as he will know that all dues have been cleared by the seller up to the present date. To determine the status of dues, NDC (No Demand Certificate) is applied. It takes 2 working days for NDC to be processed after its submission. However, in urgent cases, it can be processed within 6 hours, but with some additional charges as mentioned below.
Urgent NDC Fees: Rs.5000/-
Now if all the dues are clear and all due payments have been made to date. It will be cleared and the further procedure will begin.
Required Documents for NDC
- Seller CNIC Attested Copy
- NDC Form
- Copy of Intimation/Transfer Letter of Property
Note: NDC Remain valid till current Quarter (90 Days).After End of Quarter it would be re applied.

If you want to transfer ownership of a property in DHA Bahawalpur, you’ll need to pay the transfer fees and taxes after obtaining NDC clearance. This process will be handled by a registered property dealer who will submit the regular transfer documents to the DHA Bahawalpur office on your behalf.
Once the documents are submitted, the DHA Bahawalpur office will give you a transfer date which is usually 3rd day after the submission.

At the transfer office, the staff will verify the biometrics of both the buyer and seller, and after signing all the necessary documents, the buyer will be asked to affirm the transfer of the property to the new buyer. The transfer usually takes around half an hour to complete, and the DHA will provide a transfer letter with the name of the new buyer.
