The Government of Punjab has launched a game-changing initiative under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz — the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Scheme 2025. This program, tailored for low-income and landless families, is a major step toward reducing homelessness and improving living standards. Through this scheme, the government is not just offering shelter but also financial support in the form of interest-free loans to help families build their own homes.
June 2025 brings significant progress and fresh opportunities under this scheme. If you or someone you know has been struggling to own a piece of land or build a home, this is your chance to turn that dream into reality.
What’s New in June 2025?
As of June 2025, the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Scheme is growing rapidly. The Punjab government has already allotted over 1,800 plots across various districts, and nearly 3,000 houses are under construction. What’s even more promising is the expansion of the scheme to include middle-income families, a decision that opens doors for thousands more who need affordable housing.
The application system has been improved to ensure transparency and fairness. Now, NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) and PSER (Punjab Socio-Economic Registry) registration is mandatory. A government-led committee oversees the computerized draw, ensuring only the most deserving candidates are selected.
Who Can Apply?
Initially launched for low-income groups such as widows, orphans, disabled individuals, and laborers, the eligibility criteria now include middle-income earners as well. To qualify for the scheme:
-
You must be a resident of Punjab.
-
Hold a valid Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).
-
Have a monthly household income below PKR 50,000.
-
Own no land or house.
-
Be registered with NSER and have a PMT (Poverty Means Test) score of 60 or less.
-
Be 18 years or older (married individuals get preference).
-
Have no criminal record or history of loan default.
This broadens the opportunity for more families in need to access dignified housing and better living conditions.
