Navigating the intricate regulatory landscape for establishing Property Funds and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in Pakistan requires specialized expertise.

Regulatory Compliance & Authorities
The establishment of Property Funds, particularly REITs, is governed primarily by the SECP (Real Estate Investment Trust) Regulations, 2015, and Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC) rules. This involves obtaining necessary licenses for the Asset Management Company (AMC) and Trustee, drafting the Trust Deed, and securing approval for the Offering Document. Beyond SECP company registration, entities must also secure NTN Registration Pakistan from the FBR for taxation. Our corporate legal services Pakistan cover these essential steps. Key authorities include the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), and relevant Provincial Land Revenue Authorities.
