ISLAMABAD – The Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) Islamabad has seized a valuable piece of land owned by Bahria Town in Murree due to unpaid tax liabilities amounting to Rs24.47 billion.
The attachment was executed under Rule 160 of the Income Tax Rules, 2002, read with Section 138 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
According to official sources, the confiscated property spans 527 kanals and 10 marlas, located in Mouza Kathar Sharqi, Angori Road, Tehsil Murree, District Rawalpindi. The LTO took possession of the land on September 22, 2025, after Bahria Town (Pvt) Ltd failed to clear its longstanding income tax dues.
Officials stated that the property will remain under the LTO’s custody until further orders from the competent authority. Any attempt to sell, lease, or transfer the attached land will be considered illegal, and violators may face legal action under tax laws.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has also cautioned individuals, departments, and institutions against entering into any transaction involving the seized property without prior written authorization.
Furthermore, the FBR has invited objections or supporting evidence regarding the attachment to be submitted before October 24, 2025. The action marks one of the most significant enforcement measures against a major real estate developer in Pakistan’s property sector.
