Who is Eligible for 3 Marla Plot Free in Punjab?

The government has set very clear rules to ensure only the deserving get these plots. You must be a permanent resident of Punjab to apply. The most important condition is that neither you nor your spouse or dependent children should own any house or plot anywhere in Pakistan. This scheme is strictly for first-time owners.

According to the official azag.punjab.gov.pk website, your household PMT score (Poverty Score) should ideally be 60 or less. If you are already registered with the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), your chances are even higher. The government uses NADRA data to verify that the applicant is the head of the family.

Districts Covered in the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar First Phase

The scheme is being rolled out in stages. In the first phase, thousands of plots are being distributed in 19 districts of Punjab. The selection of these districts is based on population density and the need for housing.

Central Punjab: Districts like Faisalabad (Mamukanjan) and Kasur (Pattoki) have hundreds of plots ready.
North Punjab: Jhelum is a major focus with over 700 plots available in various schemes.
South Punjab: Areas like Lodhran, Sahiwal, and Okara (Renala Khurd) are included to help rural families.
