Punjab Apna Ghar Scheme 2026 – New Loan Limits And Mark-Up Rates

A lot of people in Punjab have been waiting for something like this for years. Renting forever was never the plan, but owning a home felt completely out of reach without the kind of salary that qualifies you for a bank loan. That gap is exactly what the Apna Ghar scheme is trying to close.

Punjab’s updated Apna Ghar program offers housing loans to low and middle income households with subsidized mark-up rates that are significantly lower than what commercial banks charge. Loan amounts are capped based on property size and category, repayment is spread over several years to keep monthly instalments affordable, and eligibility is tied to income level, property ownership status, and domicile verification. Applicants need valid identification and must meet the residency conditions set by the government.
