Around 51,500 pilgrims have deposited the second installment of their dues under the Hajj Scheme 2027 Pakistan, and collection is still underway. The spokesperson for the Ministry of Religious Affairs said Rs 32.6 billion has been received under this installment so far. Pilgrims have until October 20 to make their payments.
How pilgrims are paying
The spokesperson said 26,000 pilgrims paid through One Link, a payment channel, and 2,126 paid by bank card. Another 23,200 deposited cash through manual bank challans, which are paper deposit slips handed in at a bank. The spokesperson said 55 percent of pilgrims are paying online from home through the Hajj portal. The three channels named account for about 51,300 pilgrims, which leaves about 170 of the 51,500 not placed in any channel in the figures given.
Deadline and the medical certificate
The last date to deposit the second installment under the Hajj Scheme 2027 Pakistan is October 20, the spokesperson said. Pilgrims must first upload their medical fitness certificates to the Hajj portal, because the certificate is mandatory before the payment process can go ahead. Applications of those who do not deposit by October 20 will be cancelled, and the money already deposited will be returned, the spokesperson said. The official figures do not give the per-pilgrim amount of the installment or the total scheme fee.
