Owning a home in Pakistan has become increasingly difficult due to rising construction costs and expensive bank loans. In this situation, Akhuwat Foundation’s zero-markup home loan stands out as one of the few real, people-focused solutions available today.
Under its housing support initiative, Akhuwat is offering interest-free home loans of up to Rs. 15 lakh, designed specifically for families who can repay in installments but cannot afford conventional banking interest.
What Makes Akhuwat Home Loan Different
This is not a bank loan and not a government subsidy. Akhuwat operates on a Qarz-e-Hasna (interest-free) model, meaning:
-
❌ No markup
-
❌ No hidden charges
-
❌ No profit component
-
✔️ Only the amount you borrow is returned
This makes it one of the most ethical and affordable housing finance options in Pakistan.
How Much Money Can You Get
Eligible applicants can receive:
-
Minimum loan: Rs. 5,00,000

The exact amount depends on:

Monthly Installments – What You Actually Pay
Since the loan is 100% interest-free, installments are simple and predictable.
Example:
