### The 7-Step Due Diligence Checklist
1. **Verify RDA / TMA / Cantonment Board NOC Status**:
Never purchase a file or plot in an unapproved housing scheme. Confirm society approval via RDA or Wah Cantonment Board official gazette.
2. **Verify Aks-e-Shajra & Mauza Settlement Records**:
Ensure the seller has direct title to the physical khasra numbers where the plot is situated.
3. **Verify Fard-e-Malkiat (Ownership Deed)**:
Obtain a fresh digital Arazi Record Center (PLRA) verified Fard issued within the last 14 days.
4. **Demand Original Allotment Certificate & NDC (No Demand Certificate)**:
Confirm zero outstanding development charges, utility dues, or transfer taxes.
5. **Execute Physical On-Ground Demarcation (Nishan-Dahi)**:
Verify corner coordinates, ground level, and road alignment before transferring funds.
6. **Execute Verified Power of Attorney (PoA) via Pakistani Consulate**:
If delegating signing rights to a relative, ensure consular attestation.
7. **Use Banking Channel Pay Orders Only**:
Never make cash transactions. Pay via banking instrument referencing the plot number and seller CNIC.
