LAHORE: Lahore High Court Justice Umar Ata Bandial on Friday extended stay against the recovery of capital value tax (CVT) from the employees’ old-age benefits institution (EOBI) and its officers until February 22.

The judge also gave time to the Punjab government law officer to file his reply by the next hearing.

The petitioner, EOBI had challenged the imposition of CVT by the provincial government under section 6 of the Punjab Finance Act, 2010.

The judge had already restrained the tax department from taking coercive measures for the recovery of CVT from the institution, and sought replies from the Board of Revenue and other respondents.

The petitioner’s counsel, Mansoor Usman Awan, submitted that the CVT had first been levied by the federal government under section 7 (pf) of the Finance Act, 1989. He said that after the 18th Amendment, the power to collect CVT had not been transferred to the provinces and this was apparently the first demand and recovery notice sent by the provincial government through the Board of Revenue to a statuary body.

Awan argued that section 6 of the act imposed CVT on transfer of immoveable property by a person, which did not include a statutory corporate body like the petitioner, and pertained to transfer between members of a family which again was not a transaction undertaken by the petitioner (EOBI) as a transferee from the Ministry of Defence.

He requested that the impugned notice issued to the petitioner should be declared unconstitutional and without lawful authority.

ISLAMABAD: Capital Development Authority (CDA) has started working on a plan to launch a new residential sector on the instruction of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, sources told Daily Times on Thursday.

They said CDA’s new Member Planning Tahir Shamshad had called a meeting of officers concerned to discuss the proposals regarding launching a new residential sector in federal capital. After finalising the proposal, CDA will send the to the prime minister for approval, they added.

They said Director General Planning Ghulam Sarwar Sindhu, Hafiz Ehsan and other officers participated in the meeting that discussed requirements for launching a new residential sector. The meeting also discussed the possibilities to generate funds for launching the new sector. The meeting said if once a project would be started it should not be stopped due to shortage of funds.

Gilani had instructed the CDA management during his visit to CDA headquarters to open a new residential sector. The prime minister assured the management that he was ready to help out CDA regarding its launching, they added.

They said for the last 22 years CDA had not opened any proper residential sector, as in sector I-15 the plots were of almost same size and it was not possible to complete it in near future. Earlier, Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation, an ancillary department of Ministry of Housing had launched sector G-14 in 2004, but it was not a CDA project.

In 2006 CDA had started considering seven new sectors including F-13, D-13, E-13, C-13, C-14, C-15 and C-16, of which it was decided to open sector C-14 through a joint venture with a private company but the proposal was also delayed, the sources maintained. They said presently only eight percent residents of the federal capital were living in their own houses and remaining were either in rented or in the government accommodations and dreaming to have their own house. They said over 35 percent residents of the federal capital moved to housing societies located in Zone II and V and some to Bhara Kahu and nearby residential colonies located in Zone IV, as CDA did not open a proper residential sector since a long time. They said if CDA managed to open a new sector and complete it in time, it would be one of its biggest achievements.

RAWALPINDI: The Ministry of Defence has approved a housing scheme covering over 30 acre of land for its own and the Army General Headquarters (GHQ)’s low-income employees from BPS-7 to BPS-14 and awarded development task to Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB).

The housing scheme will have a school, mosque, modern park and other facilities while, the allotment letters will be distributed among the applicants in the November next year, RCB Executive Officer Rana Manzoor Ahmed Khan told APP on Sunday.

He said it was for the first time in the history of Rawalpindi Cantonment that a housing scheme was announced for low-income employees of the Ministry of Defence and GHQ.

Manzoor said the RCB has been awarded a contract of the development of the land. A total of 398 plots will be created and alongside the construction of roads and parks, the facilities of sewerage, electricity and gas will be made available, he added.

He said 92 plots of seven marla and 84 plots of five marla will be allotted to the law paid employees of the Ministry of Defence while the employees of GHQ will get 96 plots of seven marla and 100 plots of five marla.

Responding to a question, he said Rs 850 million had been allocated for the development work, of which Rs 12 million will be paid to IESCO for supply of electricity, Rs 38 million for construction of roads, Rs 6.5 million for sewerage system, Rs 4.6 million for underground water tank and Rs 4.5 million for tube-well and filtration plant.

The Executive Officer further said Rs 6.7 million had been allocated for water supply network, Rs 5 million for overhead tank, Rs 7 million for provision of Sui gas and Rs 2.1 million for installation of streetlights.

He said the Ministry of Defence and the GHQ had already released an amount of Rs 25 million for development work, while Rs 41.476 million will be released in the second phase.

Manzoor expressed the confidence that after the development work, land of the scheme will be handed over to the Ministry of Defence for onward distribution of plots among the applicants in November 2011.

He said the land was owned by the Ministry of Defence and there was no need to acquire any land for the scheme. He said direct monitoring of the development work would be ensured.

ISLAMABAD: Over 30 housing societies located in Zone V of the capital have sold over 100,000 files of plots so far. Most of these housing societies had been involved in over-selling, resultantly people have been robbed of Rs 50 billion but Cooperative Housing Societies Office circle registrar (CR) has not taken any serious notice of this scam.

Sources told Daily Times that the CR is involved in this scam because no society can pop up on its own since they are checked at four stages by departments concerned before development. At every stage, a housing society has to get an approval to enter the next. To launch a society, the first stage includes permission of layout plan for which departments concerned evaluate feasibility of the project.

At the second stage, a society has to take approval of its engineering design so that possibility of technical faults is removed. It is at this stage that suitability of the site for construction of residential, commercial, public and other places is checked as per rules and regulations.

At the third stage, No Objection Certificates (NOCs) are issued to the administration of the society to start development work. At the forth phase, certificates are issued after completion of development work.

The sources said that in most of cases, the CR office had never put a strict check on administration of housing societies due to which people from all over the country were continuously suffering.

In Zone V, Sawan Garden; Ziraj Housing Scheme; Phase II, III, V and VI of Behria Town; Jaddah Town; River Garden; Anchorage Housing; OPF Housing Scheme; Jinnah Garden I and II; Aagosh (merged in DHA); CBR Town; Morgah City; Parliamentarian Enclave; Alhamrah Avenue Housing Scheme; Khayaban e Kashmir; Pak PWD Housing Scheme Lohi Bher; Senate Avenue; Gulshan e Rabia; Tele Town; Gulshan-e-Rehman; Askery Housing; Korang Town; Bankers’ Town; Hamza Town; WWF Labour Colony; National Assembly Housing Scheme; Bankers’ City; Fatima Vila; Awan e Sadr Housing Scheme; Karawal Housing Scheme; Jinnah Town; Airport Employees Cooperative Housing Scheme; Police Foundation and other housing societies are located.

Only few of these housing societies have completely followed the layout plan and engineering design. Most of them did not follow the procedures. Some of these societies have sold files of the plots much more than the land they have.

Sources told Daily Times that to make a housing society, its management had to follow rules and regulation. According to criteria, residential plots should not expand 55 percent of the land; open/green space/parks should not be less than eight percent; roads/streets not less than 26 percent; graveyards not less than two percent; commercial and parking not more then five percent and public buildings like school, mosque, dispensary, hospital, community centre, post office etc not be less than 4 percent in every housing society. It is another thing that most of the housing societies have violated this criteria.

Affectees said that these societies earned billions of rupees by violation of criteria and in this regard CR office allegedly taken its share. They said present CR Malik Din belonged to a middle class family of Khanewal and during his tenure of job, he had allegedly made plenty of money and owned a multiple fuel station. They said he had a house in a posh sector, an apartment in a lavish tower in F-10 and land in federal capital.

Affectees Rajab Shah, Malik Irfan, Muhammad Naeem and others appealed to Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhry to take a sou moto notice and solve their problem, ordering to return of their money and a strict action against the CR.

Din said that he did not own any property in the city nor he had any money to buy anything. He said he was just a government servant and an honest servant cannot have any property.
