The Punjab Launches PMIS Portal for Affordable Housing has officially launched a digital Program Management Information System (PMIS) Portal to streamline the approval process for Affordable Private Housing Schemes (APHS). Managed by the Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA) and supported by the World Bank under the Punjab Affordable Housing Program (PAHP), this revolutionary platform allows developers, sponsors, and housing scheme owners to apply for approvals online without any manual paperwork.

- ✅ 100% Online Application & Tracking
- ✅ Fast and Transparent Processing
- ✅ Equal Opportunity for All Developers
- ✅ Secure & Confidential Data Handling
- ✅ Automated Notifications and Approval Status Updates
