ISLAMABAD: The annual Hajj pilgrimage is likely to cost more than Rs1 million per pilgrim under the government scheme in the coming season (2023).
According to the local media, the Hajj Policy 2023 expected by the end of February would throw light on the expenses under the government scheme. In 2023, 179,210 Pakistanis will be able to avail the government’s package to perform Hajj.
Higher Hajj expenses due to global economic situation
One reason for higher Hajj expenses is due to the global economic situation and the depreciation of the rupee. Moreover, the government would not be able to offer any subsidy owing to the precarious economic condition of the country.
