Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana Loan Scheme 2026 – میرا گھر میرا آشیانہ

Owning a house in Pakistan has always been a dream for middle-class and low-income families. With rising property prices, building or buying a home often feels out of reach. To address this challenge, the Government of Pakistan, in collaboration with the State Bank of Pakistan, has launched the Mera Ghar Mera Ashiana Scheme 2026.

پاکستان میں ایک گھر کا مالک ہونا ہمیشہ سے متوسط اور کم آمدنی والے خاندانوں کا خواب رہا ہے۔ بڑھتی ہوئی جائیداد کی قیمتوں کے باعث گھر تعمیر کرنا یا خریدنا اکثر پہنچ سے باہر محسوس ہوتا ہے۔ اسی چیلنج کو حل کرنے کے لیے حکومتِ پاکستان نے اسٹیٹ بینک آف پاکستان کے تعاون سے میرا گھر میرا آشیانہ اسکیم 2026 کا آغاز کیا ہے۔

The scheme provides affordable housing loans at subsidized markup rates, making it easier for families to finally own a home.
