AZAG Registration Alert
AZAG Registration Alert program is one of the most important housing schemes designed to provide affordable housing opportunities for citizens. After the closing of online applications on 16 July 2025, the program has now entered its next stage, where all applicants are required to submit their documents for scrutiny. This development is crucial because only those who complete this step will remain eligible for the upcoming draw.
Applicants are instructed to submit their documents to their District Deputy Commissioner (DCO) Office or the PHATA Field Office before 30 September 2025. This deadline is final, and those who fail to comply will lose their chance to be included in the program. Another important update is the introduction of a Rs.200 verification fee, which must be paid per applicant per household during the scrutiny process.

New Update: Rs.200 Fee and Office Verification
Previously, the registration process was limited to online submissions followed by confirmation SMS notifications. However, the authorities have now made it compulsory for each applicant to visit their nearest AZAG office for in-person verification. During this visit, the applicant’s CNIC will be checked in the system by the focal person, and once the details appear, the applicant will be asked to pay a Rs.200 fee.
This fee is not a hidden charge but an official step added to ensure fair verification. The collection happens only at the office counter, and applicants must demand an official receipt. The authorities have clearly stated that the payment is required only after the verification process is complete. This means no advance payments and no involvement of third parties.
Key points to remember about the fee:
- It is Rs.200 per applicant per household.
- Payment is made after successful verification.
- Always collect an official receipt.
- Never pay intermediaries or unauthorized agents.

Affidavit and its importance
When you are completing the registration, you will be asked to sign an affidavit in which you will be asked for your name, identity card number, father’s or husband’s name, full address, tehsil and district. After that, there are a few conditions that you will be asked and you must see and read them.
Term And Conditions
- I am applying for allotment of a residential plot under the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar program launched by the Government of Punjab.
- That neither I nor my spouse or dependent children own any residential plot, house, land or apartment anywhere in Pakistan.
- That I am not a defaulter of any bank or financial institution.
- That all the information provided by me in the application form and supporting documents is correct and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
- That any misrepresentation or concealment of material facts may lead to the cancellation of my application or allotment and may also result in legal action as per applicable laws.
- That I have been submitting this affidavit in good faith to fulfill the eligibility requirements of the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar program.
Who Must Take Action Now
The new instructions apply only to those individuals who had completed their online registration before the deadline. These applicants have already received an SMS confirming that their details were recorded by the system. Such individuals must now prepare their documents and visit the nearest AZAG office.
On the other hand, people who did not register or who have not received the confirmation SMS are not required to act at this stage. They must wait until the authorities announce the next phase of registration or new openings in the program. This clarification is important to prevent confusion and unnecessary visits to government offices.
Documents Required for Scrutiny Committee
To ensure that only deserving applicants qualify, the scrutiny committee will carefully review all submissions. Applicants must carry original documents along with photocopies. The following documents are considered essential:
- CNIC of the applicant and spouse (if applicable)
- Domicile certificate issued by the district authority
- Affidavits on Rs.200 e-stamp paper (covering correctness of information, property ownership, and financial integrity)
- Proof of property ownership, if any
- Financial integrity records or income proof, if demanded
- Police character certificate issued by the local police station or E-Khidmat Markaz
- Any additional documents as requested by the committee during verification
These documents are not only required for submission but also for cross-checking. If any document is missing or found to be false, the application may be rejected immediately.

Scrutiny Committee: What They Check and Why It Matters
The scrutiny committee plays a vital role in ensuring transparency. Their task is not just to collect papers but to examine them in detail. They verify the applicant’s identity, cross-check property ownership records, and assess whether the information submitted during registration matches the documents provided.
The outcome of the scrutiny may fall into three categories:
- Approved: The applicant has provided all documents correctly and is cleared for the draw.
- Pending: Some documents are missing or unclear, and further clarification is needed.
- Rejected: The application is disqualified due to false, incomplete, or unverifiable information.
This stage is crucial because only approved applicants will be included in the computerized draw for housing allocation.
