Launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, this scheme aims to provide free 3-marla residential plots to the most deserving people in Punjab — especially those who are homeless or living in extreme poverty.
Let’s break it all down in simple, real terms — what it is, who can apply, how to apply, and everything else you need to know. You won’t need to Google anything after reading this, promise.

What’s This Scheme About, Really?
It’s simple: if you’re poor, homeless, and don’t own any property, the Punjab government wants to give you a 3-marla residential plot — completely free. No catches, no hidden fees.
This isn’t some small side project either. It’s part of the “Housing for All” vision Maryam Nawaz has for the province.
In Phase 1, 1,892 plots will be distributed in 19 districts, under 23 different low-income housing projects. The goal is to make sure every Pakistani, regardless of background, has a roof over their head — or at least land to build one.
Where Will These Plots Be Given?
So far, plots will be distributed in the following districts:
-
Attock
-
Bahawalnagar
-
Bahawalpur
-
Bhakkar
-
Chiniot
-
Faisalabad
-

If your district is listed above, you’re eligible to apply. If it’s not yet included, don’t lose hope — future phases will likely cover more areas.

Extra Help: Apni Chhat Apna Ghar Loan
Let’s say you get the plot. Great! But what if you don’t have money to build?

Loan Details:
- Loan Limit: Rs. 15 lakh (1.5 million)
- No interest, ever.

This can really help poor families turn their land into an actual house.
Important Conditions You Must Follow
Getting the plot is just the beginning. You have to follow some rules after you get it:
-
Start building within 6 months.
-
Finish construction within 2 years.
-
You can’t sell or transfer the plot for 5 years.
-
The land must be used only for living, not for business or renting.
-
If you break any rule, the government can take back the plot.
So please, don’t think of it as something to flip or resell. This is about giving shelter, not profit.

Who’s Making Sure It’s Fair?
Good question. This is Pakistan — people naturally worry about “sifarish” and corruption. But this time, there’s a system.
Each district has an 8-member committee that includes public officials and social workers. They’ll verify applicants, visit sites, and make sure things are handled honestly.
Also, all applicants are being cross-verified with Punjab Socio-Economic Registry (PSER). You can check your own registration or update details at: https://pser.punjab.gov.pk
Why This Matters for You and Pakistan

-
Reduces slums and overcrowded areas.
-
Helps poor families live in dignity.
-
Creates jobs in construction and housing.
-
Encourages safe and planned neighborhoods.
It’s more than just a plot — it’s a chance at a better life.
