The Ministry of Religious Affairs Govt To Finalize Banks For Hajj 2025 Applications by November. The selected banks will process applications under the government’s regular scheme.
On Friday, the ministry’s tender committee reviewed proposals from 15 commercial banks. Moreover, this meeting was led by Joint Secretary Sajjad Haider Yaldram. In addition, key officials like Joint Secretary Chaudhry Asadullah Faiz, Chief Finance Officer Zulfiqar Khan, and Deputy Secretary for Hajj Operations Nasir Aziz Khan were also present. Meanwhile, the representatives from the banks attended to observe the tender process closely.
The government plans to divide Pakistan’s total Hajj quota of 179,210 pilgrims. The government will reserve 89,605 spots for its scheme, while private tour operators will receive the same number. The preliminary cost of the Hajj package for 2025 is projected to range between Rs. 1,075,000 and Rs. 1,175,000.
