Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana 2025 – Affordable Home Loans for Every Pakistani Family
Owning a home is one of the biggest dreams for many Pakistani families. However, with property prices constantly increasing, it has become difficult for low- and middle-income groups to afford a house. To make this dream achievable, the Government of Pakistan and the State Bank of Pakistan have introduced the Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana Housing Loan Scheme 2025 — a program designed to help families buy or build their first home with easy financing options.
What Is the Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana Scheme?
The Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana initiative is a government-supported housing finance scheme that offers low-interest loans, long repayment terms, and high financing ratios. It aims to make homeownership accessible to those who do not already own a property. Under this scheme, citizens can get loans covering up to 90% of the total house value, while paying only 10% upfront.
The government provides a markup subsidy, meaning borrowers pay a reduced interest rate. This makes monthly installments much smaller than regular bank loans, allowing families to manage their budgets more easily.
Loan Tiers and Key Features
The scheme is divided into two main loan tiers based on the applicant’s income and housing needs:
| Feature | Tier 1 (T1) | Tier 2 (T2) |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Loan Amount | PKR 2 million | PKR 3.5 million |
| Fixed Markup Rate | 5% | 8% |
| Repayment Tenure | Up to 20 years | Up to 20 years |
| Loan-to-Value Ratio | 90:10 | 90:10 |
| Processing Fee | None | None |
| Prepayment Penalty | None | None |
This flexible structure ensures affordability, transparency, and long-term support for new homeowners.
Why This Scheme Matters
Pakistan faces a significant housing shortage, especially among low-income households. Many people live in rented or temporary accommodations because they cannot afford to buy property. The Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana scheme not only addresses this problem but also promotes financial inclusion by helping individuals who previously had no access to bank financing.
The program also prioritizes women, widows, and differently-abled citizens, giving them special opportunities to apply and secure funding for their homes.
