A postponement has been made to the official Hajj scheme’s scheduled balloting, which was set to occur on April 5. The new draw date will reportedly be revealed at a later date, per sources.
It is important to note that the application period for Hajj 2023 is almost over, and the draw is scheduled to select pilgrims for this year’s journey. These fortunate people will be able to make the Hajj this year.
The government’s decision to extend the sponsorship deadline for the Hajj to April 7th was the cause of the draw’s delay.
A total of 14 banks have been designated by the government Hajj scheme to accept applications for the pilgrimage. These Include
HBL, UBL, NBP, MCB, Allied Bank, ZTBL, BoP, Meezan Bank, Bank Alfalah, Habib Metro Bank, Soneri Bank, Faysal Bank, Askari Bank, and Bank Al-Habib,
These banks will be open daily from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM during the holy month of Ramadan, with the exception of Fridays, when they will be open from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Applications for the Hajj under the government program must be submitted by Friday, April 7.
