DHA Phase 10 File Rates Today: Prices, Balloting & Buyer Guide
Phase 10 file rates by size
These are working market ranges, not spot prices. Phase 10 is highly liquid but volatile, with a well-known morning-to-evening swing where a file can move by lakhs in a single day. For the exact figure on the day you buy or sell, message us and we confirm the live rate.

Why a range and not one number: files swing intraday, and affidavit versus allocation, plus the seller's urgency, move the figure. A range holds true across the week; the exact number is a phone call.
DHA Phase 10 balloting: what is actually confirmed
This is the question driving the whole market, so here is the honest status rather than hype. DHA has not confirmed a final balloting date. What the pattern and the on-ground signals tell us:
The historical pattern
DHA Lahore balloted Phase 8 in 2010 and Phase 9 in 2015, roughly a five-year cadence. On land-acquisition progress, Phase 10 is considered due in 2026. Through mid-2026, expected announcements around launch, location map and installment forms were anticipated but repeatedly did not materialise on the rumored dates, which is exactly why prices softened as buyers moved to a wait-and-see stance.
What the launch is expected to bring
The official launch is expected to introduce the location map preview, installment plot offerings, booking forms, and the schedule for the first balloting event, widely discussed as a 10 percent down payment on a 4-year installment plan. Treat every figure here as expected, not confirmed, until DHA posts it through official channels.
Affidavit vs allocation file: which to buy
Affidavit file
Transferred directly from the original landowner. Easier to procure, smoother transfer, and the practical pick for most Phase 10 investors in 2026. Usually trades a touch higher than allocation.
Allocation file
Currently hard to find, with thin availability across 5 Marla, 10 Marla and 1 Kanal. Trades slightly lower, but the limited supply makes it harder to enter and exit cleanly.
“In Phase 10 right now, the affidavit file is the cleaner trade. Allocation files look cheaper on paper, but they are hard to find and harder to exit. For most buyers, a smooth affidavit transfer from the first owner is worth more than a small discount.” Saeed Chaudhry, CEO, Elegant Properties
Should you buy now, or wait for balloting?
Buy a file now if
Your horizon is five years or more, you want the lowest entry into DHA Lahore, and you want to position before official balloting news, which historically lifts prices. The current soft patch is the entry window traders look for.
Wait for the ballot if
You specifically want an official installment plot direct from DHA on the 4-year plan, and you are willing to apply through a designated bank when forms officially open. You accept you may pay more than today's file price.
Fraud warning: installment forms
DHA has confirmed that Phase 10 installment file forms are delayed and that no forms are available with any individual or dealer. Anyone collecting money for a Phase 10 installment form right now is committing fraud. Official forms will be issued only through DHA-designated banks after a formal announcement.
Before paying for any file, do these checks:
- Verify the file record and the seller's CNIC at the DHA office directly.
- Confirm the file type (affidavit or allocation) and that dues are clear.
- Never pay for an "installment form" from a dealer. Forms come only from designated banks.
- Ignore unofficial balloting or installment claims until DHA posts them officially.
- Complete payment only against a verified DHA transfer, never before.
Why Phase 10 is drawing investors
Three things explain the interest. First, lowest entry: a 5 Marla file near 27 to 31 Lac is the cheapest way into an active DHA Lahore file market, well below Phase 9 Prism or Phase 13. Second, liquidity: Phase 10 trades in high volume, so a good file is hard to buy but easy to sell in a firm market. Third, location: connectivity from Ferozepur Road, the Lahore Ring Road, Phase 9 Prism and Bedian Road underpins long-term value.
A note on the 2026 backdrop: file rates went through a correction and then a gradual recovery, with tax relief for active filers and revised FBR valuations restoring buyer confidence. Corrections like this are the windows long-term investors watch for, but only official DHA channels, not dealer rumors, should drive a balloting or installment decision.
Buying a Phase 10 file from overseas
Phase 10 files suit overseas Pakistanis particularly well: the entry cost is low and raw files carry a light tax profile. The whole purchase can be completed remotely through a notarized Power of Attorney, with document verification and DHA transfer handled here. We manage this end to end for clients in the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA and Canada, so you can position in Phase 10 before balloting without flying back.

When is DHA Phase 10 balloting?
No final date is confirmed by DHA. On the Phase 8 (2010) and Phase 9 (2015) pattern, Phase 10 is due in 2026, with launch, map and installment-form announcements expected. Treat all dates as unconfirmed until DHA posts them officially.
Affidavit or allocation file, which is better?
Affidavit for most buyers: it transfers directly from the original landowner, is easier to find, and gives a smoother exit. Allocation trades slightly cheaper but is currently hard to source.
Are installment forms available now?
No. DHA has confirmed forms are delayed and available with no dealer or individual. Anyone collecting money for a Phase 10 installment form now is committing fraud. Forms come only through designated banks after an official announcement.
Is Phase 10 a good investment?
It offers the lowest entry among active DHA file markets, strong liquidity, and solid connectivity. It suits long-term holders (five years plus) and traders positioning before balloting. Verify every file before buying.
Can overseas Pakistanis buy a Phase 10 file?
Yes, remotely through a notarized Power of Attorney, with verification and transfer handled by a registered dealer. The low entry and light tax profile make Phase 10 well suited to overseas buyers.
