      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You must be wondering how to apply for the recently launched government’s Youth Business and Agricultural Loan Schemes. If that is the case, then you are at the right place as we guide you step-by-step that how it is done.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asked women, transgenders, and differently-abled people to apply for the schemes and contribute to the national development.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/CMShehbaz/status/1618107904640577537"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="eligibility" href="#eligibility" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Eligibility&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is one of the key factors of the scheme that who can apply. The government has set the age limit of 21-45 years, so the maximum number of youth can avail the loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, for IT and e-commerce businesses, the lower age limit is 18 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="registration-process" href="#registration-process" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Registration process:&lt;/h2&gt;
