Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has recently launched the Youth Business and Agricultural Loan Schemes to promote self-employment and a norm of job creation among the youth in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PM\u2019s Youth Loan scheme will allow people aged between 21 and 45 to apply for a loan of up to 75 lakh to start their own business. However, for those interested in the IT and e-commerce sectors, the lower age limit is 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere will be no interest rate on the loan of up to PKR 0.5 million. A 5% interest will be charged on the loan of over PKR 0.5 million to 1.5 million,\u201d the prime minister said during the launch ceremony in Islamabad. \u201cA 7% interest rate will be charged on the loan of over PKR 1.5 million to PKR 7.5 million.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loan facility will also help youth in rural areas introduce and promote the use of sophisticated technology in agriculture. Innovation in this field could allow businesses to be more sustainable, environmentally friendly, safer, and of course, profitable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Eligibility\">Eligibility Criteria for PM\u2019s Youth Loan Scheme in Pakistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Youth Business and Agricultural Loan Schemes\" class=\"wp-image-124080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Body-Image-1440x900-23.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The registration process will only take a few minutes\n(Credits: Screenshot\/PMYB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those applying for the prime minister\u2019s youth loan scheme should be residents of Pakistan and fall within the age bracket specified above.
