Mustafa Residencia, Sheikhupura: Listed as an Illegal Housing Society by RDA

Real estate investments in Pakistan are on the rise, but so are the concerns about unapproved and illegal housing schemes. Among those, Mustafa Residencia in Sheikhupura has recently come under scrutiny. According to the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA), Mustafa Residencia is included in the list of illegal housing societies, raising serious red flags for investors and residents alike.

What Makes a Housing Society Illegal?

A housing scheme is declared illegal when it:

• Operates without NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the development authority (RDA, LDA, CDA, etc.)

• Lacks proper zoning approvals and infrastructure planning

• Sells plots on unapproved land or encroaches on public land

• Fails to meet environmental or urban development regulations

Status of Mustafa Residencia – Why Is It Red-Listed?

As per the latest RDA update, Mustafa Residencia:

• Does not have an approved layout plan

• Has not obtained NOC from RDA

• Is actively selling plots and advertising despite regulatory violations

The project is therefore listed in the “Red List” – a public notice of illegal and unauthorized housing societies issued by RDA to protect the public from fraudulent investments.

 Risks of Investing in Illegal Housing Schemes

How to Verify Before You Buy

1. Check RDA’s official list of approved societies
