To facilitate the general public in benefiting from the government’s low-cost housing scheme, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday launched a mobile unit, which will act as a one-window solution to provide information and collect applications for loans.
The mobile unit, in partnership with the Naya Pakistan Housing Authority and the National Bank of Pakistan, will facilitate people to obtain loans for low-cost housing projects.
Moreover, the mobile unit will provide one-window operations for getting loans under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme.
Initially, the mobile unit will provide facility in Rawalpindi, Islamabad and adjoining areas and later the scheme will be expanded across the country.
In addition, the mobile unit will also help reduce the burden on banks regarding dealing with customers during the Covid-19 situation.
The Prime Minister lauded the initiative taken by the National Bank of Pakistan to set up the mobile unit and said ensuring shelter and accommodation for the people was the top priority of his government.
He urged the banks to facilitate the aspirants of loans for construction of their houses.
