Karachi July 26 2022: Government of Pakistan has decided to allow banks/DFIs/MFBs to disburse financing as per existing terms of Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar in respect of cases approved and meeting certain conditions on or before June 30, 2022.
However, Government of Pakistan has lower the profit margin for the Banks. Till 30th June 2022, an amount of PKR 235,954 million has been approved while banks has only disbursed PKR 99,818 million from this amount.
Approved cases can be defined as cases (Purchase and/or Construction) pending for disbursement due to any legal formality. All pre-disbursement formalities have been done and bank has communicated the same (Being in advance stages, these customers have completed almost all pre-disbursement formalities, paid token money and incurred all incidental expenses (legal & processing fee, etc)).
Approved cases also include a case where customers have entered into agreements, paid token money & obtained property documents from sellers or in case of construction loans, PTM / Fard for loan has already been issued. (These cases are just short of ‘approved cases pending for disbursement’ (Benchmark 1), as in such cases, a few internal procedures of banks may still be required to be completed but the borrowers have incurred all major costs/expenses based on approvals from banks).
Peri-urban/NAPHDA project(s) cases where down payment has been received from customer.
Further, the Government has decided that spread of banks and DFIs on the disbursements against cases mentioned above, apart from Peri-Urban/NAPHDA project, and falling under Tiers 2 and 3 of MPMG will be maximum of 250 bps over and above KIBOR (instead of maximum allowed spread of 400 bps currently allowed).
