Tier 2 PM Youth Business & Agriculture Loan Scheme: Complete Application Guide

Ever wanted to start or grow your own business but didn’t have the money? The Tier 2 PM Youth Business and Agriculture Loan Scheme (PMYB&ALS) is here to help. It’s a government-backed loan program for young entrepreneurs in Pakistan. Let’s break down how you can apply, step by step.

This scheme is a government initiative to help young people start or expand their businesses or farms. It offers loans from PKR 500,000 up to PKR 7.5 million, depending on your needs. The Tier 2 loan is for amounts above PKR 500,000 and up to PKR 1.5 million.

Tier 2 is perfect if you need a bigger boost for your business or farm. The interest rate is low—just 5% per year—and you can repay the loan over up to 8 years. That’s a lot of time to grow your business without worrying about big monthly payments.

You can apply if you:

  • Are a Pakistani resident
  • Are aged 21 to 45 years (for most businesses)
  • Are aged 18 to 45 years for IT or e-commerce businesses (with at least matriculation)
  • Have a valid CNIC
  • Are not a government employee
  • Have a business idea or an existing business/farm

You can use the loan for:

  • Starting a new business
  • Expanding an existing business
  • Buying equipment or machinery
  • Working capital (daily expenses)
  • Agriculture (crops, livestock, poultry, dairy, etc.)
  • Civil works (up to 65% of the loan amount)

Before you start, gather these:

  • CNIC (front and back copy)
  • Proof of address
  • Business proof (if you already have a business)
  • Business plan (for new businesses)
  • Bank statement (sometimes needed)
  • References (two non-relatives, with their CNIC and contact details)
