Karachi: Meezan Bank has approved over PKR 31.5 billion in housing finance for 4,424 applicants under the Government of Pakistan's Wazir-e-Azam Apna Ghar Programme - Ghar Ho Tu Apna (GHTA), highlighting a strong demand for Shariah-compliant home financing across the country.

According to Meezan Bank Limited, the approved applications represent a substantial financing pipeline, which is expected to lead to further disbursements as customers complete necessary procedures such as property selection and documentation. In this growing pipeline, Meezan Bank has already disbursed more than PKR 4 billion, assisting approximately 650 families in moving closer to home ownership.

The bank experienced a notable increase in momentum during August 2026, when it disbursed around PKR 2.2 billion in a single month. This accounted for over half of its cumulative disbursements under the program to date.

Ahmed Ali Siddiqui, Group Head Consumer Finance at Meezan Bank, stated, "The approval of more than PKR 31.5 billion in financing across over 4,400 applications demonstrates the significant demand for affordable and Shariah-compliant housing finance in Pakistan. With over PKR 4 billion already disbursed and 650 families supported, our focus is now on converting this strong approved pipeline into home ownership for thousands of additional customers."

The bank remains committed to supporting the government's objective of expanding access to affordable housing while providing customers with financing solutions structured in accordance with Islamic principles. Through its Easy Home solutions, Meezan Bank offers Shariah-compliant financing for the purchase and construction of residential properties, leveraging its nationwide branch network and specialized housing finance teams to facilitate the process.

The increasing approval and disbursement numbers underscore Meezan Bank's role in expanding access to Islamic housing finance while contributing to financial inclusion and the development of Pakistan's residential housing sector.
