Payments on Pakistan’s New Hajj Portal Cross Rs. 31 Billion in One Day

In a single day, more than Rs. 31 billion has been collected through payments for Hajj pilgrims via Pakistan's new digital Hajj portal, reported the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Since the inauguration of this online payment service, over 50,000 applications have been submitted. Under the scheme, around 22,000 pilgrims have had their payments processed for the Short Hajj Scheme and an additional 28,000 for the Long Hajj Scheme.

The digital payment infrastructure is operational in all four provinces of Pakistan - Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan, along with Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Islamabad. Three payment methods are available through the Pak Hajj app and Hajj portal, namely One Link, bank cards, and bank challans. The primary objective behind this digital payment facility is to expedite and simplify the Hajj payment process for pilgrims nationwide.
