The Government of Pakistan has officially unveiled the Prime Minister (PM) Laptop Loan Scheme 2025, a flagship initiative that is designed to bridge the digital divide and provide young Pakistanis with essential technology.
The program provides laptops on simple, interest-free installments, ensuring that students, freelancers, and budding entrepreneurs who are unable to afford the increasing cost of devices have a wider access.
The initiative is characterized by officials as a strategic investment in Pakistan’s digital economy, with the objective of empowering the nation’s young to achieve success in e-commerce ventures, freelancing platforms, and online education.
Applicants may obtain financing of up to PKR 450,000 through the program, contingent upon their laptop requirements.
Loan categories
The loan categories are organized into three tiers: Basic (PKR 150,000), Medium (PKR 300,000), and Advanced (PKR 450,000), all repayable in flexible monthly installments over several years.
Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to Pakistani citizens aged 18 to 35, which includes university students, freelancers, and young professionals. Applicants from low-income households will be given priority. However, government personnel are ineligible.
Required documents
Applicants must prepare the following documents before applying:
CNIC (front and back scanned copies).
Recent passport-size photograph.
Proof of income (salary slip or guardian’s income statement).
Educational certificates or university admission proof.
Freelancers can provide links to online profiles (Fiverr, Upwork, etc.).
Applications will be processed entirely online through the official PM Youth Program portal to ensure transparency and ease of access.
By eliminating financial barriers, the PM Laptop Loan Scheme 2025 aims to provide equal opportunity, encourage digital literacy, and empower the country’s young population to compete globally in knowledge-based industries.
