CDA Removes NOC Requirement for Family Transfer of Property

Islamabad: The city managers have lifted the restriction on family property transfers requiring Non Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) building control section.

According to the director of CDA, family property transfers no longer require a NOC from the Building Control Section (BCS) of CDA. This action was taken to make it easier for citizens to transfer property among their children, as doing so frequently required them to go through the lengthy procedure of obtaining a NOC.

Moreover, in an effort to relieve citizens, he claimed that the CDA board had authorised changes to the CDA property manual last week that now permit family members to transfer property without a NOC. The director stated that the CDA would send out a notification in this regard after the meeting’s minutes were published in the following few days.

It is pertinent to state that the proposed transferee will only be required to file an affidavit in accordance with the new family transfer policy, and he will be held accountable for deleting it within three months of any infractions.

After conducting a property inspection, the BSC awards NOCs. The CDA board also ruled that, aside from family transfers, the NOC of BCS is required, but that its validity has been increased from three months to one year.

According to the CDA representatives, obtaining the property transfer through CDA is a difficult process because it calls for multiple NOCs, including those provided by BCS, revenue, and the land directorate. Individuals with connections, according to them, may get their property transferred within a few weeks, whereas regular people must walk from pillar to post to accomplish the same task.
