Meezan Bank approves over Rs31bn under Ghar Ho Tu Apna programme

Meezan Bank, one of Pakistan’s largest commercial banks, has approved more than Rs31.45 billion in housing finance across 4,424 applications under the Government of Pakistan’s Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Programme – Ghar Ho Tu Apna (GHTA).

The approved applications represent a substantial financing pipeline expected to translate into further disbursements as customers complete property selection, documentation and other procedural requirements, Meezan Bank said in a statement.

Meezan Bank has already crossed Rs4 billion in cumulative disbursements under the programme, helping around 650 families move closer to owning their homes.

Momentum accelerated sharply during August 2026, when the MEBL disbursed approximately Rs2.2 billion in a single month, accounting for more than half of its cumulative disbursements under the programme to date.

Commenting on the development, Ahmed Ali Siddiqui, Group Head Consumer Finance, Meezan Bank, said, “The approval of more than Rs31.5 billion in financing across over 4,400 applications demonstrates the significant demand for affordable and Shariah-compliant housing finance in Pakistan. With over Rs4 billion already disbursed and 650 families supported, our focus is now on converting this strong approved pipeline into home ownership for thousands of additional customers.”

He added that Meezan Bank remains committed to supporting the government’s objective of expanding access to affordable housing.
