The Faisal Hills Government Loan Facility is now open to members and investors, a major federal financing scheme that makes building your home significantly more affordable. If you already own or are planning to book a plot in Faisal Hills, this program could change how you approach construction financing entirely.
This guide breaks down exactly what the scheme offers, who qualifies, how it compares to regular bank financing, and what it means practically if you’re planning to build in Faisal Hills.
What Is the Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Program
The Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Program; “Ghar Ho Tu Apna” is a federal government housing finance initiative run by Pakistan’s Ministry of Housing & Works, launched under the vision of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif. Unlike provincial schemes limited to specific income brackets or regions, this program is available to eligible applicants across Pakistan and works through nearly every major commercial and Islamic bank in the country.
The scheme covers three types of financing: purchasing a ready flat or house, buying a plot and constructing on it, or financing construction alone on a plot you already own; which is exactly where Faisal Hills members and investors fit in.
Why This Matters for Faisal Hills Specifically
Many Faisal Hills members already own their plot and have been waiting for the right financing option to actually start construction. This scheme is built for precisely that situation. Rather than paying the full construction cost out of pocket, or turning to informal, high-interest lenders, eligible Faisal Hills plot owners can now access a structured, bank-backed loan with a fixed, government-subsidized markup for the first ten years.
For investors who purchased a plot with the intention of building later, this removes one of the biggest practical obstacles: raising the capital for construction all at once. Instead, the cost can be spread across a repayment period of up to 20 years, turning a large one-time expense into a manageable monthly commitment.
Why the Timing Matters Right Now
Faisal Hills has reached a development stage where multiple blocks, including the Executive Block and parts of Block A and B, already have families living in them, functioning schools, and active construction across several sectors. This means the infrastructure, roads, and utilities needed to actually build and live on a plot are already in place in many areas, rather than something buyers need to wait years for.
Combining that on-ground progress with a newly accessible, government-subsidized financing option means the two biggest obstacles to building, infrastructure readiness and construction funding, are addressed at the same time for many Faisal Hills plot owners. This is a meaningful shift from a few years ago, when even a fully owned plot often sat undeveloped simply because construction financing wasn’t accessible or affordable.
Who Is Eligible
To qualify for the Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Program, applicants must meet two core requirements:
- Be a first-time homebuyer, holding a valid CNIC
- Not currently own any other housing unit
If you already own a plot in Faisal Hills but haven’t built on it yet, and don’t own a completed housing unit elsewhere, you’re likely a strong candidate for this financing. Overseas Pakistanis who meet these same criteria are also generally eligible, though it’s worth confirming specific documentation requirements with your chosen bank if you’re applying from abroad.
Loan Terms and Markup Explained
Here’s exactly what the scheme offers financially:
| Detail | Terms |
| Financing Limit | Up to Rs. 10 million |
| Markup | 5% fixed for the first 10 years, market rate for the remaining 10 years |
| Loan Tenure | Up to 20 years |
| Loan-to-Value Ratio | 90% financed by the bank, 10% contributed by the borrower |
| Coverage | Purchase, plot + construction, or construction only, up to a 10 Marla house or 1,500 sq ft apartment |
| Processing Fee | None |
| Prepayment Penalty | None |
The 5% fixed markup for the first decade is significantly below typical commercial construction financing rates, which is the core appeal of this government-backed structure. There’s also no processing fee and no penalty if you choose to pay off your loan early, both of which reduce the overall cost compared to a standard bank loan.
How This Compares to Regular Bank Construction Loans
Most standard, non-subsidized construction loans in Pakistan carry markup rates well above what this program offers, often tied closely to the State Bank’s policy rate without any fixed discount period. A regular commercial construction loan also typically comes with processing fees, and some carry penalties for early repayment, both of which add to the real cost of borrowing over time.
The Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Program removes both of these added costs while locking in a fixed, below-market rate for the first ten years specifically. For a Faisal Hills plot owner comparing this against a standard bank construction loan, the difference in total repayment over the life of the loan can be substantial, particularly for larger loan amounts closer to the Rs. 10 million limit.
Which Banks Participate
The scheme works through nearly all major Pakistani banks, giving you flexibility to apply through whichever institution you already bank with. Participating banks include:
- HBL

Documents You’ll Likely Need to Apply
While exact requirements can vary slightly by bank, applicants generally need to prepare the following before starting an application:
- A valid CNIC
- Proof of plot ownership, such as your Faisal Hills allotment or possession documentation
- Proof of income or employment, since the bank will assess your repayment capacity
- Bank statements, typically covering the past several months
- Any additional documentation your chosen bank specifically requests during processing
Since the bank handling your application will confirm the exact list, it’s worth reaching out to your preferred participating bank early to get their specific checklist before you begin.
How to Apply
The application process is handled directly through the program’s official portal:
- Create an account on the official Apna Ghar Program website
- Log in after registration
- Click “Apply for Loan”
- Fill out the loan application form with your details
- Submit the form for review
Once submitted, your chosen participating bank will process your application based on standard eligibility verification.
What This Means for Your Faisal Hills Plot
If you already own a plot in Faisal Hills, this scheme gives you a practical, affordable path to actually building on it, rather than leaving it undeveloped while you save up construction costs separately. For investors still deciding whether to book a plot, the availability of this financing makes the overall investment more accessible, since construction no longer needs to be a separate, unplanned expense down the line.
Since eligibility and documentation requirements are handled directly by the participating bank and the federal program, we’d recommend confirming your specific eligibility and required paperwork directly with your chosen bank before applying.
