What is a DHA Gujranwala file?
When an investor reserves a plot before balloting, DHA issues a booking document confirming that reservation. That document is the "file". It can be bought and sold before a plot number is assigned, and its price is set entirely by market demand rather than by DHA.
Allocation file vs affidavit file
The two kinds of file you will be offered, and how they differ.
| Factor | Allocation file | Affidavit file |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Original booking issued by DHA to the first buyer | Legal transfer document for a secondary-market resale |
| Plot number assigned? | No — assigned at balloting only | Depends; it may or may not have a plot number |
| Price | Lower — early stage, higher risk | Higher — includes legal costs and a resale premium |
| Legal basis | DHA intimation letter or booking slip | E-stamp paper, signed before an oath commissioner |
| Best for | Buyers seeking maximum capital gain | Buyers wanting clear documentation and lower risk |
| Verification | Directly against DHA records | Must be verified with DHA before any payment |
File vs plot
What changes once a plot number and possession are in hand.
| Factor | File (pre-balloting) | Plot (after possession) |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Lower — no plot assigned yet | Higher — a numbered plot |
| Risk | Higher — the outcome depends on balloting | Lower — ownership is clear |
| Can you build? | No — only after possession | Yes, once the possession letter is issued |
| Best for | Capital gain investors | End users and rental investors |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an allocation file and an affidavit file?
An allocation file is the original booking DHA issued to the first buyer. An affidavit file is the legal document used to transfer that booking to a new buyer on the secondary market. Affidavit files usually cost more because the legal work is already done.
Is buying a DHA file safe?
It is safe when the file is verified with DHA Gujranwala before any money changes hands. Never pay a token or advance against an unverified file.
Can overseas Pakistanis buy a file?
Yes. A General Power of Attorney, attested by the Pakistani consulate, lets a nominated representative complete the transfer on your behalf.
What happens at balloting?
Balloting assigns a plot number to your file. Once a number is assigned the holding becomes a plot rather than a file, and it is usually worth more.
Important: never pay any amount — including a token or advance — for a DHA Gujranwala file before verification with DHA is complete. Rates on this page are indicative and change with the market.
