The New City Phase 2 NOC status is the first thing a smart buyer checks, and the honest answer has two layers. The scheme sells on an approval base from the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA), published as NOC reference 705/TMAH. At the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), the published list for Tehsil Taxila carries Phase-II as under process for planning permission, and the scheme is not on the illegal schemes list. In simple words: an approval base exists, one RDA step is still in process, and the check that protects you is matching your exact plot to the approved layout plan. This guide shows you how.
New City Phase 2 NOC Status: Quick Facts
- Approval base: TMA approval, with the NOC reference 705/TMAH published by society and dealer sources.
- RDA record: Phase-II sits in the under-process list for Tehsil Taxila (planning permission stage), not on the illegal schemes list.
- Area split: RDA’s list records TMA approval over about 1,832 kanal, with planning permission for about 2,005 kanal in process, so your block’s position on the plan matters.
- Location record: the scheme’s land sits in mouzas Ghazi Kohli, Sagra Brahma and Thatha Khalil, Tehsil Taxila, outside Cantonment Board limits.
- The check that counts: match your plot on the approved layout plan before you pay.
What the Approval Record Actually Shows
The first layer is the municipal approval the scheme was launched on: housing schemes in this area, outside the cantonment, were sanctioned through the local Tehsil Municipal Administration. That is the approval behind the NOC number dealers quote, 705/TMAH, and RDA’s own scheme list records the society as TMA-approved over about 1,832 kanal.
The second layer is the RDA file. The RDA is the development authority for Rawalpindi district, including Tehsil Taxila, where this scheme’s land lies. In RDA’s published list for Tehsil Taxila, New City Housing Scheme Phase-II appears in the under-process list: preliminary planning permission issued, layout plan submitted, with planning permission for about 2,005 kanal in process. That area is larger than the TMA-approved base, which is why one street can sit inside the approved plan while a newer extension street is still completing its paperwork.
Two more facts keep the picture balanced. The same RDA publication carries a separate illegal schemes list for Tehsil Taxila, and New City Phase-II is not on it. And the Cantonment Board Wah looks after the cantonment area only; this scheme lies outside cantonment limits, so its approvals run through the TMA and RDA. Dealer pages that simply print “RDA approved” skip these details. The record is better than illegal and more useful than a slogan: an approved base, an extension in process, and a clear way to check your own plot. For prices, best blocks and possession basics, our New City Phase 2 buying guide covers the buying side in full.
How to Verify the Status Yourself: 6 Simple Steps
- Check the RDA lists online. Open rda.gop.pk and look at the approved housing schemes list and the illegal housing schemes list for Tehsil Taxila. You are confirming two things: Phase-II’s recorded position, and its absence from the illegal list. The lists are free and need no login.
- Ask the society office for the NOC copy. A genuine office shows the approval letter, published reference 705/TMAH, in minutes.
- Match your plot on the approved layout plan. Find your block, street and plot number on the sanctioned map. A plot that appears on the approved plan carries the scheme’s approval base with it.
- Ask which approval covers an extension block. If your plot sits in a newer block, ask plainly whether it falls in the TMA-approved area or the area in process at RDA, and note the answer in writing.
- Verify the seller and dues at the society office. The staff confirm the recorded owner, the allotment chain and any outstanding development or transfer charges against the plot.
- Transfer at the society office and collect your letter. Complete the transfer at the office with both parties present, and take your transfer or allotment letter in your name. For a second confirmation, RDA’s MP&TE Directorate answers scheme status queries directly.
Documents to Check Before You Pay
| Document | What it proves | Where to check it |
|---|---|---|
| NOC / approval letter | The scheme holds an approval base from the municipal authority | Society office; published reference 705/TMAH |
| Approved layout plan | Your block, street and plot sit inside the sanctioned map | Society office, matched against the RDA record |
| Allotment letter | The plot stands booked in a recorded name | Society office record for the plot number |
| Dues clearance | Development and transfer charges are fully settled | Society accounts desk, in writing |
| Transfer letter | Ownership has moved to you through the office system | Issued at transfer, in your name |
| Seller CNIC and allotment chain | The seller is the recorded owner of this plot | Verified at the society office before payment |
What an Approval Base Gives You
An approved base makes every later step smoother. Your transfer runs through the society office system and lands in your name with a proper letter. Your house plan follows the scheme’s building process, the route our GlowStar Builders construction team follows with plot owners in the society every week. Utility connections and address records follow the approved map, so daily life starts without paperwork detours.
Approval also shapes resale. The next buyer of your plot will run the same checks in this guide, and clean answers keep your price confident. It also keeps clear distance from enforcement: the RDA runs regular action against schemes on its illegal list, from sealing site offices to stopping advertisements. A scheme with an approval base and a live file in process sits in a different, more comfortable category.
Red Flags Worth a Second Look
- A dealer who cannot show the NOC copy or the layout plan. The fix is simple: buy where both documents are shown happily.
- A file in a brand-new extension block priced far below the developed blocks. Ask which approval covers that block before you book, and get the answer in writing.
- A plot number that does not appear on the plan you are shown. Numbers on the sanctioned map are the ones that carry the approval.
- Pressure to pay a token before one office visit. A genuine deal happily survives a short verification trip, and good dealers expect it.
- Marketing that says only “fully approved” with no document behind it. The documents, not the slogan, are what your money is buying into.
Each flag has the same easy answer: one visit, two documents, and your decision is fully informed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is New City Phase 2 Wah Cantt approved?
It holds a TMA approval base, published as NOC 705/TMAH, over about 1,832 kanal. At the RDA, Phase-II is carried as under process for planning permission over a larger area of about 2,005 kanal, and it is not on the illegal schemes list. So the scheme has a real approval base, with one RDA step for the extended area still in process.
What is NOC 705/TMAH?
It is the approval reference society and dealer sources publish for the scheme’s municipal (TMA) approval. Ask the society office to show you the letter itself and match the reference on the document.
Is New City Phase 2 on the RDA illegal list?
No. RDA’s published illegal schemes list for Tehsil Taxila names other schemes; New City Phase-II appears in the under-process list instead. You can confirm this yourself on the lists published at rda.gop.pk.
How can I check the NOC status myself?
Check the approved and illegal scheme lists on rda.gop.pk, then visit the society office to see the NOC copy and match your block, street and plot number on the approved layout plan. Together, the two checks take less than a day.
Does the approval cover every block and extension?
The recorded approval covers a defined area, and the planning permission for the extended area is still in process at RDA. That is why the block check matters: a plot inside the approved layout plan carries the approval base, and a plot in a newer extension needs one extra written confirmation from the office.
Conclusion
The New City Phase 2 NOC status rewards buyers who check: a TMA approval base on record, an RDA planning-permission file in process, and no place on the illegal list.
