The Ministry of Religious Affairs unveiled on Wednesday a decision regarding the expenses incurred by successful applicants who opt not to embark on the sacred journey of Hajj.
Under this new ruling, individuals abstaining from Hajj will be subject to a deduction of Rs2 lacs from their allocated expenses.
This revelation came to light through official documents, shedding light on the Ministry's strategy to streamline the process and ensure equitable distribution of resources.
The decision aims to incentivise responsible decision-making while maintaining financial prudence within the framework of Hajj operations.
The Ministry clarified that post-implementation of the Hajj flight schedule, the deduction for non-participants will amount to Rs1lac and 97 thousand.
Furthermore, it was stressed that individuals falling under certain categories such as the sick, deceased, or those placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) and blacklist will be exempt from any deductions. T
To facilitate transparency and accessibility, the details of the Hajj flight schedules for all airlines have been made available on the "Pak Hajj App" and the Ministry of Religious Affairs website.
