9 News HD: A total of Rs426 billion in housing loans has been approved under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s Apna Ghar Programme so far. The update was shared with the prime minister during a briefing on the government’s housing scheme.

The programme aims to help people buy or build their own homes by providing access to housing loans. It is designed to support people who may find it difficult to arrange money for a house through other sources.

According to the reported figures, Rs426 billion worth of loans has been approved, while around Rs76 billion has been paid out so far. This means that the amount approved is much higher than the money already given to borrowers. The difference is important because loan approval does not always mean that the full amount has reached the applicant.

The government is looking to improve the process and speed up the release of approved funds. Faster payments could help eligible applicants move forward with their plans to buy or build a home.

Housing costs remain a major concern for many families in Pakistan. For people who do not own a house, getting a loan with suitable terms can make home ownership more achievable. However, applicants still need to check the programme’s rules, eligibility conditions and repayment requirements before applying.

The latest figures show the scale of the Apna Ghar Programme, but the amount of money actually disbursed will also be important in measuring its progress. Further updates on loan payments and the number of people receiving support will help show how the scheme is reaching applicants.

The programme is part of the government’s efforts to improve access to housing and help more families work towards owning a home.
