The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has directed plot owners in LDA City to clear their outstanding installments and other dues according to their respective balloting phases by June 30, 2026. Failure to do so will result in surcharge and further action under the relevant rules and regulations.
According to a public awareness campaign issued by the LDA, allottees from the first and second balloting phases, whose installment period ended on June 30, 2022, they were instructed to pay all outstanding dues by June 30, 2026.
Similarly, allottees from the third and fourth balloting phases, whose payment deadline was December 31, 2024, have also been given until June 30, 2026 to clear their dues without any additional surcharge.
The LDA has clarified that allottees from the first, second, third and fourth balloting phases who fail to pay their dues by the deadline will be charged a surcharge along with the principal amount from July 1, 2026, in accordance with the applicable rules.
According to the authority, eligible allottees who deposit their outstanding charges under the extension policy may have their allotments restored in line with the prescribed terms and conditions. The step is aimed at providing relief to citizens while ensuring financial discipline in the project.
To facilitate plot owners, the LDA has also kept its online payment system active. Citizens can obtain challan forms through the LDA’s official website, www.lda.gop.pk, or the LDA mobile application. Payments can also be deposited at branches of Allied Bank, MCB Bank and Bank of Punjab across the country.
The authority has advised citizens to carefully verify all information printed on the challan form, as any incorrect entry must be confirmed through the relevant directorate.
LDA officials said timely payment of dues would not only help plot owners avoid an additional financial burden but also support the pace of development activities in the project. They urged all allottees not to wait until the last date and to clear their dues as soon as possible to avoid extra charges or administrative complications.
