In Islamabad’s high-end areas, Sector E-7 saw valuations fall from Rs600,000 to Rs225,000 per square yard, while plots in sectors F-6 and F-7 were reduced from Rs500,000 to Rs210,000 per square yard.
The notification states that the revised rates are effective under SRO-163, replacing rates notified through SRO-2390 on December 12, 2025. Officials said the cuts aim to provide relief to the real estate sector and encourage property transactions in the capital.
Earlier, on December 10, 2025, the FBR had issued new valuation rates for residential and commercial plots across Islamabad. However, just six days later, the rates were suspended on December 16, 2025, amid complaints from traders and developers.

The revised rates apply to residential, commercial, and rural properties and are designed to reflect fair market values while easing the burden on buyers and investors. Analysts say the adjustment may boost activity in the capital’s real estate market, which had slowed following the earlier hike in property valuations.
