Applicants under the Government Hajj Scheme 2025 risk losing their opportunity to perform Hajj if they fail to submit their second installment on time, according to a report by 24NewsHD TV on Friday.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced that the second round of payments will be accepted from November 3 to November 10. Candidates who do not complete the payment within this period will have their applications canceled, and their first installment refunded directly to their bank accounts.
The Hajj dues can be deposited through 14 designated banks across the country. Each applicant is required to pay Rs. 650,000 as the second installment. Meanwhile, the private Hajj scheme has already begun accepting applications.
According to the Ministry, applicants may choose from various residential packages. Those opting for double-bed family rooms will need to pay an additional Rs. 200,000 per person, while triple-bed family rooms will cost an extra Rs. 67,000 per person.
Officials clarified that participants will be permitted to change their accommodation package at the time of submitting the second installment. However, no modifications will be allowed once the payment has been made.
