PM Fan Replacement Program: Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan Guide

PM Fan Replacement Program Pakistan - Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan on-bill financing guide via efan.gov.pk

Note: Like the PAVE Scheme, this is a federal Government of Pakistan program run by the National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority (NEECA) — not a Punjab provincial platform.

The Prime Minister's Fan Replacement Program (PM-FRP), also known as Roshan Pankha Roshan Pakistan, is applied for at efan.gov.pk. It's a national energy-conservation initiative that lets eligible electricity consumers replace old, inefficient ceiling fans with NEECA-certified 5-star models through on-bill financing. This guide covers how the scheme works, who qualifies, and how to apply.

What Is the PM Fan Replacement Program?

The scheme is designed to gradually replace around 88 million old, inefficient fans — roughly 60% of the 147 million fans currently installed nationwide — with modern, energy-efficient models. It's backed by a Rs. 2 billion seed fund approved by the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) under an "On-Bill Islamic Financing" model, with loans offered at KIBOR plus 2% and the government providing a 10% first-loss guarantee to participating banks. The initiative is projected to yield peak energy savings in the thousands of megawatts, easing pressure on the national grid during peak demand.

How Much Can You Save?

NEECA 5-star certified fans use up to about 70% less electricity than older, standard fans. Since ceiling fans are one of the most commonly used appliances in Pakistani households during summer, replacing several old fans can meaningfully lower a household's monthly electricity bill.

Financing Details

Financing range: approximately Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 300,000, depending on eligibility and the number of fans being replaced
Repayment period: 6 to 18 months
Repayment method: on-bill financing — equal monthly installments are added directly to your electricity bill
Islamic financing option: Shariah-compliant financing is available through approved partner banks for consumers who prefer it
Installation charges: paid separately, directly to the fan manufacturer at the time of installation — not included in the financed amount

Eligibility Criteria

Only the owner of the residential property (a registered customer of the relevant electricity distribution company, or DISCO) may apply — tenants are not eligible
The electricity bill must be in the applicant's own name
You must be a current consumer of an Electric Power Supplier — including green meter holders — for at least 24 months
Delivery and installation take place at the address listed on your electricity bill, so it's important that address is accurate and complete

How to Apply: Step-by-Step

Visit the official portal at efan.gov.pk and go to the fan replacement section, or download the official "PM Fan Replacement Program" mobile app.
Fill out the application form with your CNIC and electricity bill details.
The system automatically verifies your eligibility and shows the financing limit available to you.
Choose a participating bank offering financing under the program (for example, Allied Bank offers a Shariah-compliant digital financing option).
Select your preferred NEECA 5-star certified fan model from the participating manufacturers.
Once your application is processed and approved, the new fan is typically delivered and installed within about 30 days.
Pay the separate installation fee directly to the manufacturer at the time of installation.
Repay the financed amount through equal monthly installments added to your electricity bill over your chosen 6–18 month term.

⚠ A Word of Caution

As with other high-interest government schemes, a number of unofficial websites and blog posts have appeared online using similar names and offering "guaranteed approval" or asking for personal details outside the official channel. Only apply through efan.gov.pk or the official mobile app, and only through banks and fan manufacturers listed as official partners on the portal. Never share your CNIC or banking details on third-party websites claiming to process your fan replacement application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a Punjab government program?

No — it's a federal initiative implemented by NEECA under the Government of Pakistan, applicable to eligible consumers nationwide, not a Punjab-specific scheme.

Can I apply if I rent my home?

No — only property owners who are registered DISCO customers with the electricity bill in their own name are eligible. Tenants cannot apply under this program.

How many fans can I replace under this scheme?

The financing amount, which ranges from roughly Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 300,000, depends on your eligibility and the number of fans you're replacing, so multiple fans can potentially be covered under a single application depending on your approved limit.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

The fan cost itself is financed and repaid through your electricity bill, but installation charges are separate and must be paid directly to the fan manufacturer at the time of installation.

Final Thoughts

The PM Fan Replacement Program is one of Pakistan's largest energy-conservation efforts, aiming to replace tens of millions of inefficient fans nationwide. If you're a property owner looking to cut your electricity bill, check your eligibility directly at efan.gov.pk and apply only through the official portal or app.
