What the Partnership Means for You

Under this agreement, the Bank of Punjab will be the exclusive financing partner for housing loans in the fiscal year 2025–26. This means:

• Faster processing of interest-free home loans

• Simplified documentation and approval process

• More funding for qualified applicants

So far, over Rs. 60 billion in loans have already been disbursed to 52,000+ beneficiaries, with Rs. 900 million recovered every month through easy installments. An additional Rs. 10 billion will be released soon to expand the reach of the programme.

Building Homes & Futures

With a goal of 100,000 homes in 4.5 years, the programme is already changing lives. The housing initiative includes:

• Construction on government land

• Affordable homes in private schemes

• Interest-free loans for families with small plots

According to housing officials, over 51,000 families now own their homes, while 45,000+ houses are under construction. The project is expected to create 500,000 jobs, giving both shelter and income opportunities to the people of Punjab.

More Than Just Housing

The Apni Chhat Apna Ghar scheme is more than a building project—it’s a social revolution aimed at restoring dignity and security to underprivileged families. With CM Maryam Nawaz’s vision and the support of the Bank of Punjab, this initiative is shaping a brighter, more stable future for thousands.
