About this calculator

How the FBR fair market value works in Karachi

Under Section 68 of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001, FBR notifies area-wise valuation rates for immovable property. For Karachi these come from S.R.O. 1724(I)/2024 (effective 1 November 2024), with the valuation method set in S.R.O. 144(I)/2025. Advance tax under sections 236C (seller) and 236K (buyer), and the Section 7E deemed-income return, are charged on this notified value or the declared price — whichever is higher. This tool applies the exact area rate plus the depreciation, amenity, basement and DHA rules.

What you'll need

The FBR area name, the property category (plot, house, flat, commercial or industrial), the plot or covered area in square yards or square feet, and — for built-up property — the construction year, so age-based depreciation applies. Houses over 25 years are valued at the open-plot rate; flats depreciate up to 50% beyond 30 years.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the value FBR uses for 236C and 236K?
Sections 236C and 236K advance tax are charged on the FBR notified value or the declared consideration, whichever is higher. This calculator reproduces the notified value from S.R.O. 1724(I)/2024. Confirm against the official table for the exact transaction.
Which notification does this use?
The Karachi valuation table in S.R.O. 1724(I)/2024 (effective 1 November 2024), with the valuation rules from S.R.O. 144(I)/2025 (11 February 2025).
How is an old house valued?
Built-up residential value drops by 5% (5–10 years), 7.5% (10–15) and 10% (15–25). Beyond 25 years the property is valued at the area's open-plot rate.
How are flats depreciated?
Flats reduce by 10% (5–10 years), 20% (10–20), 30% (20–30) and 50% beyond 30 years, applied to the area's flat rate.
What is the amenity-plot rate?
Amenity plots are valued at 50% of the residential open-plot rate for that area.
Why do some areas have no rate for a category?
FBR left some cells blank or marked N/A. Where a rate is missing the tool won't invent one — it tells you the category can't be valued for that area.
What is the DHA Khayaban 15% addition?
Commercial plots of DHA facing a Khayaban are increased by 15%. The option only appears for DHA areas.
How is a commercial building with a basement valued?
The basement is added at 20% of the ground-floor value; floors above ground at 75% of the ground-floor rate, then age depreciation applies.
How is industrial built-up property valued?
The industrial built-up rate applies to the entire plot area plus the covered area, per S.R.O. 144(I)/2025.
Can I rely on this for filing?
Treat it as guidance. It mirrors the notification but doesn't capture every property-specific fact — verify the final figure against the FBR table before filing.
