Meezan Bank approves over Rs31.5bn in Ghar Ho Tu Apna Financing

According to Mettis Global, Meezan Bank has cleared 4,424 housing finance requests worth over Rs31.45 billion under Ghar Ho Tu Apna (GHTA), the housing scheme within the federal Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Programme. The bank linked the approvals to firm demand for affordable, Islamic-compliant home loans nationwide. Approved applicants still need to finish property selection and paperwork, so actual payouts will come in stages as those steps are completed.

Cumulative disbursements under the scheme have now topped Rs4 billion, helping about 650 families move toward owning a home. August 2026 stood out, with roughly Rs2.2 billion released in that single month, which accounts for over half of the total disbursed so far.

Ahmed Ali Siddiqui, Group Head Consumer Finance at the bank, said attention is now on turning approved financing into owned homes for thousands more clients. He also pledged that the bank will keep supporting the government's aim of widening access to affordable housing. Its Easy Home range covers buying and building residential property under Islamic principles, delivered through branches and dedicated housing teams.
