Margalla Enclave 3rd Ballot 2026 — Status, Prices & How to Apply
The third ballot window is open with a widely advertised closing date of 4 September 2026. What it costs, who is eligible, how overseas Pakistanis apply — re-verified against sources on 23 Aug 2026.
What the 3rd ballot actually is
Margalla Enclave does not sell residential plots over the counter. Plots are allocated by computerised ballot: you apply for a size, deposit the application amount, and if your name is drawn you receive an allotment at the published price for that round — with the down payment due within 30 days and the balance on quarterly instalments over 1, 2 or 3 years.
Two rounds are already history: the first ballot ran on 20 November 2025 at Jinnah Convention Centre (blocks ME-1 to ME-4 plus Lake District), and a second booking round followed at roughly 30% higher prices. The third window is now open for both residential and commercial.
The price question — answered honestly
Different websites quote the 3rd-ballot 5 Marla at anywhere from PKR 1.55 Crore to PKR 2.14 Crore, and the down payment as both 15% and 20%. They are not all lying — they are quoting different rounds, stale pages, and different products (ballot price vs open-market file). The only number that matters is the official DHA schedule for this round. We keep the current sheet and send it on WhatsApp — no guessing.
Applying from overseas
NICOP/POC holders apply on the same terms. The clean setup: funds via Roshan Digital Account, a NADRA online power of attorney if someone acts for you in Pakistan, and the Clause 111AC filer-rate tax relief claimed at transfer time. Full walkthrough in our overseas guide.
Deadline discipline: if you intend to apply, the paperwork — NICOP, banking channel, POA if needed — takes days, not hours. Working backwards from 4 September 2026, start this week.
Before you apply
The widely advertised closing date for applications is 4 September 2026. Treat it as advertised, not gospel: ballot dates in this project have shifted before, and marketing sites sometimes run ahead of official notifications. Confirm on the official DHA Margalla Enclave portal (margallaenclave.dhai-r.com.pk) or through us before you wire an application fee. This page was last verified on 23 August 2026.
Here the internet openly contradicts itself: sources quote 5 Marla anywhere from about PKR 1.55 Crore to PKR 2.14 Crore lump-sum, 10 Marla from 3.0 to 4.2 Crore, and 1 Kanal from 5.6 to 7.3 Crore — and down payment as both 15% and 20%. The spread exists because pages quote different rounds and different products. Only the official DHA schedule for this round settles it — we send buyers the current sheet on WhatsApp.
Pakistani citizens and overseas NICOP/POC holders. From abroad you need: NICOP, funds through a proper banking channel (Roshan Digital Account is the clean route), and — if someone acts for you in Pakistan — a power of attorney, which NADRA now lets you execute online without visiting an embassy. Application is per plot size; the down payment falls due within 30 days if you win the ballot.
Your application deposit is refunded per DHA's process for unsuccessful applicants. Many buyers then pick up a file or resale allotment from the secondary market instead — different price, different mechanics. Our payment-plan guide explains the difference before you choose.
