Sindh Building Control Authority says: “Land Owning / Master plan agencies (e-Portal) | Private Societies”.
SBCA lists this name under "Private Societies" with a phone number and nothing else. The list states no status. It does not say the society is approved, has an NOC or is illegal.
The authority lists this name and states no status for it. That does not mean it is approved, and it does not mean it is illegal. Ask the authority before you rely on it.
This is about the society, not your plot. A plot needs its own check.
What to do next
Before you buy a plot in Bismillah City Extention Housing Scheme
The society’s status says nothing about one plot. Ask for these, from these offices. Tick each as you get it. Ticks stay in this browser only.
This list cannot tell you a plot is clear. No open data supports that. It tells you what to ask for, and where.

PUBLIC NOTICE (linked on SBCA's site as "Illegal Societies"), dated 2024-10-31 A scan of three SBCA public notices, 8, 24, 20 rows. Each says "SBCA has not granted any NOC for Sale & Advertisement of their projects" and warns the public not to book or buy in them. The notices themselves do not use the word illegal, so these are kept as other with SBCA's words. The date 31 Oct 2024 is in SBCA's file name; the notices print no date. The scan is the source. It was read with Apple Vision OCR; a row is kept only when every line of its name was read with full confidence and matches the scan on an eye check. Names are kept as printed, never corrected. Kept 49 of 52; left out 3: 1 because SBCA marked it (CANCELLED) and the notice does not say what that means; 2 because the next serial was not read, so this row cannot be told apart from the one below it. A project missing here may still be on the scan.

The page is headed "Private Societies" and is a table of S.no, Name and Phone No., 157 rows. It states no status, approval or NOC for any name, so each is kept as other with the list's title as SBCA's words. The page shows no date. The phone numbers are not kept. Left out 11 rows that name a government office or no society: City Survey; Deputy Commissioner Tando Muhammad Khan; Deputy Commissioner Tando Allahyar; Deputy Commissioner Sujawal; Deputy Commissioner Hyderabad; Deputy Commissioner Dadu; Human Settlement Authority Hyderabad; Hyderabad Development Authority HDA; Private Builder; Sindh Master Plan Authority Hyderabad; Town Municipal Corporation Qasimabad.
