Rural areas: Loans up to PKR 1.5 million for houses up to 10 marlas, repayable in monthly instalments of PKR 14,000.
Urban areas: Loans up to PKR 1.5 million for houses up to 5 marlas, repayable in monthly instalments of PKR 14,000.
Major cities: Construction of four-story flats on government land, to be allocated through a lottery system and provided on easy instalments.
Additionally, private housing schemes will offer homes ranging from 3 to 5 marlas, with the government providing a subsidy of up to PKR 1 million per house.
The primary goal of the “Apni Chhat, Apna Ghar” program is to provide housing for financially vulnerable groups, she informed Dr. Amjad Saqib. The government will offer subsidies and promote the construction of sustainable and eco-friendly homes. This initiative is also expected to create employment opportunities for millions.
