Home-Based Workers Scheme 2025 || Apply Now via CNIC

In an unprecedented move to boost Pakistan’s informal workforce and uplift struggling families, the Government of Pakistan has officially launched the Rs. 50,000 Grant for Home-Based Workers under its 2025 Welfare Vision, starting in May 2025. This game-changing initiative falls under the wider umbrella of the Ehsaas Economic Empowerment Program, with a direct focus on home-based entrepreneurs, freelancers, craftspeople, and women working from home.

The informal sector—often neglected in policy decisions—is now receiving long-overdue support. According to government data, well over 5 million Pakistanis earn their livelihood by working from home. These include tailors, beauticians, online tutors, artisans, embroiderers, freelancers, home chefs, and micro-sellers. Most of these individuals do not qualify for formal bank loans or financial assistance programs. That’s where this non-repayable Rs. 50,000 government grant comes in—a bold initiative designed to inject cash directly into the hands of productive but underserved workers.

Unlike traditional financial support programs, this new scheme is quick, transparent, and digital-first. The application process is entirely online, free of charge, and linked with NADRA and Ehsaas databases to ensure fair distribution. Whether you run a home tiffin service, stitch clothes, do online freelancing, or offer services from home, this grant can help you buy equipment, scale operations, or manage essential household needs.

Even more promising is the scheme’s prioritization of female applicants to promote female financial inclusion. The government has also ensured that the process is mobile-friendly for those who don’t have access to computers.

This is a one-time, non-refundable grant, which means you don’t have to return a single rupee. What’s the most advantageous aspect? It’s possible to keep an eye on your application and get money sent straight to your bank account or mobile wallet.
