Meezan Bank has approved more than PKR 31.45 billion in housing finance across 4,424 applications under the government's Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Programme, known as Ghar Ho Tu Apna (GHTA), pointing to strong demand for affordable, Shariah-compliant home financing.
The approved applications form a substantial financing pipeline that is expected to convert into further disbursements as customers complete property selection, documentation and other procedural requirements. Against this pipeline, Meezan Bank has already crossed PKR 4 billion in cumulative disbursements under the programme, helping around 650 families move closer to owning homes.
Disbursements picked up sharply in August 2026, when the bank disbursed approximately PKR 2.2 billion in a single month, more than half of its cumulative disbursements under the programme to date.
Ahmed Ali Siddiqui, Group Head Consumer Finance at Meezan Bank, said the approval of over PKR 31.5 billion in financing across more than 4,400 applications reflects significant demand for affordable, Shariah-compliant housing finance in Pakistan. He said the bank's focus is now on converting the approved pipeline into home ownership for thousands of additional customers, while continuing to support the government's goal of expanding access to affordable housing through financing structured according to Islamic principles.
Meezan Bank offers Shariah-compliant financing for the purchase and construction of residential properties through its Easy Home solutions. The bank is drawing on its nationwide branch network and specialised housing finance teams to process applications and accelerate financing under the programme, reinforcing its role in expanding Islamic housing finance and supporting the development of Pakistan's residential housing sector.
