FBR Cancels Bahria Golf City Property Auction After Supreme Court Stay
The Federal Board of Revenue has cancelled the auction of a property in Bahria Golf City, Rawalpindi, following a Supreme Court stay on tax recovery and enforcement proceedings against Bahria Town.
According to reports citing sources familiar with the matter, the auction had been scheduled for Tuesday, October 6, at the Large Taxpayers’ Office in Islamabad.
Property Was Listed for Recovery of Tax Dues
The property comprises 32 kanal and 11 marla of land, together with a constructed house.
FBR advertised the public auction in September 2026 as part of proceedings to recover outstanding tax liabilities. The auction notice cited a tax default of approximately Rs26.47 billion and set the bidding time for 11:30 a.m.
The amount represents the tax dues linked to the recovery proceedings. It was not identified as the property’s valuation or an expected auction price.
Supreme Court Order Preceded Cancellation
The Supreme Court issued a stay on September 29, 2026, restraining FBR from recovering the disputed amount from Bahria Town and taking enforcement action against the group.
The reported cancellation follows that restriction, halting the scheduled sale of the Bahria Golf City property.
A stay pauses the specified proceedings; it does not, by itself, establish that the disputed tax liability has been waived or finally resolved.
Earlier Auctions Form Part of the Background
FBR had previously auctioned a Bahria Town property on Park Road in Islamabad, recovering approximately Rs2 billion.
The authority also conducted an auction involving 527 kanal of land in Tehsil Murree in July 2026.
Those earlier transactions provide background to the recovery effort, while the latest development concerns the cancellation of the scheduled Rawalpindi property auction.
No Replacement Auction Date Reported
The supplied report does not identify a revised auction date.
Any further recovery action will depend on subsequent court directions and the status of the proceedings. For now, the scheduled sale has been cancelled following the reported Supreme Court stay.
