Islamabad, July 29, 2025: The Government of Pakistan is set to begin the Hajj 2026 payment collection in the first week of August, according to sources cited by ARY News.
The payment process will take place in two installments, with the first one expected to fall between Rs. 500,000 and Rs. 550,000. This initial phase is open only to those who have successfully registered for Hajj 2026.
Only banks approved by the Ministry of Religious Affairs are permitted to receive Hajj 2026 payments. Once the number of submitted payments matches the country’s allotted quota, authorities will stop collecting further funds.

The Hajj 2026 payment collection process remains tightly regulated, and only eligible applicants who completed their registration will be allowed to proceed with payments.
