FGEHA Housing Schemes 2026: A Complete Guide for Federal Government Employees
If you’re a federal government employee in Pakistan, owning a home in Islamabad or Lahore doesn’t have to mean competing in the open real estate market against private buyers. The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) exists specifically to give you access to plots and apartments on more manageable terms, through several active projects across different cities. This guide walks through what FGEHA actually is, which projects are currently active, and how the process works in plain, simple terms.
What Is FGEHA?
The Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGEHA) is a government body under Pakistan’s Ministry of Housing & Works. Its core purpose is to launch, sponsor, and implement housing schemes specifically for federal government employees and other specified groups, giving them access to residential plots and apartments on an ownership basis, primarily in Islamabad, with expanding projects in other cities as well.
Unlike open-market real estate developers, FGEHA schemes are built around structured categories tied to an employee’s Basic Pay Scale (BPS), which determines eligibility, plot or apartment size, and pricing tier.

How Eligibility and Categories Work
FGEHA schemes are structured around your Basic Pay Scale (BPS), which determines which category and apartment/plot size you qualify for. As a general pattern across FGEHA projects:
- Senior officers (BPS 18–22): Larger units, higher-tier categories
- Mid-level employees (BPS 10–17): Mid-sized units
- Junior staff (BPS 1–9): Smaller, more affordable units
Some projects also include special quotas for specific groups, such as media workers, reflecting FGEHA’s approach of tailoring schemes to different employee segments rather than a strict one-size-fits-all model.
How the Balloting Process Works
Most FGEHA schemes allocate units through a computerized balloting system, especially when demand exceeds available units. Here’s generally how it works:
- Eligible federal employees apply within their relevant category and scheme
- FGEHA conducts a computerized ballot to fairly allocate available units among applicants
- Results are published on FGEHA’s official website, organized by scheme and category
- Successful applicants proceed through the payment and possession process according to the scheme’s schedule
Because balloting results and scheme updates are published regularly, it’s worth checking FGEHA’s official news section periodically if you’re an active applicant in any ongoing scheme.

Always Use the Official FGEHA Website
FGEHA has publicly warned that a fake, replica website has been circulating under its name. When researching any FGEHA scheme, always use the official domain:
fgeha.gov.pk
Avoid any site using a different domain ending (such as .org or .com), even if it looks visually similar to the real one. This matters especially when submitting personal documents, CNIC details, or making any payments related to a scheme.

Tips for Federal Employees Considering an FGEHA Scheme
- Check your BPS-based category carefully before applying, since unit size and pricing tier depend on it
- Follow FGEHA’s official news page for balloting schedules, public notices, and scheme updates, since timelines can shift
- Keep your documentation ready in advance — CNIC, employment verification, and any required certificates — so you’re not scrambling when a new balloting round opens
- Confirm project status before assuming immediate possession — many FGEHA projects are still under construction, and completion timelines can extend over several years
