Report Summary

This document provides a detailed report on the Chinar Bagh Housing Scheme, located on Raiwind Road in Lahore. It is a cooperative housing scheme under the supervision of the LDA and is partially approved, with 25% of the area approved and 75% unapproved. The society was initially launched in February 1989. Chinar Bagh offers basic civic facilities like shopping, schools, and 24/7 security.  While electricity and water are available, gas is not. Plot transfers require an NDC from the society office and involve a transfer fee of approximately Rs. 50,000 for a 5 Marla plot. Notably, there have been legal issues, with NAB asking individuals cheated by the housing scheme to come forward. The price range for a 5 Marla plot is between 35 to 45 lakhs.
