The federal government of Pakistan has introduced the Zarkhez-e Asaan Digital Qarza 2026, a revolutionary agricultural loan program designed to provide collateral-free loans to small and tenant farmers nationwide. This initiative aims to empower rural communities, promote financial inclusion, and boost agricultural productivity across Pakistan.
