The collection of expenses for Hajj 2026 is expected to begin in the first week of August.
According to sources, Hajj 2026 expenses will be collected in two instalments. The first instalment, likely to be due in August, will range between Rs500,000 and Rs550,000.
Only those who have completed their registration for Hajj 2026 will be eligible to submit the required payments.
Sources further revealed that once the required number of payments has been collected in line with the available quota, the process of collecting additional Hajj 2026 expenses will be halted.
Only banks authorised by the Ministry of Religious Affairs will be eligible to collect the Hajj 2026 expenses.
More than 450,000 Pakistanis have registered for Hajj 2026 so far.
The country’s combined quota for public and private Hajj schemes currently stands at 179,210.
However, Pakistan is reportedly seeking an increased Hajj quota of up to 230,000 in accordance with its growing population.
