**Islamabad:** The government has approved significant amendments to the low-cost housing scheme “Mera Ghar Mera Aashiyana” during a meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) chaired by Federal Minister for Finance **Muhammad Aurangzeb** in Islamabad.

According to official sources, the meeting decided to introduce major revisions aimed at facilitating homebuyers and improving access to affordable housing finance.

Under the revised framework, the maximum housing loan limit has been increased to Rs10 million (one crore rupees), providing greater financial flexibility for applicants.
