Hajj 2025
Islamabad
The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has instructed 15 designated banks across the country to keep their branches open this weekend—Saturday, November 30, and Sunday, December 1, 2024—to facilitate the submission of Hajj 2025 applications.
The banks will operate from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to allow intending pilgrims to deposit their applications and dues before the December 3 deadline.
This directive follows a request from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, aiming to assist pilgrims in completing the process ahead of the deadline.
In a related development, the Pakistani government recently announced a significant reduction in airfares for Hajj 2025, with a Rs 14,000 drop in ticket prices.
