Haj pilgrims must pay Rs 1.25 lakh second instalment by 30 November

The Haj Committee of India has directed all selected pilgrims for Haj-2027 to deposit the second instalment of Rs 1.25 lakh per pilgrim by 30 November 2026. The payment can be made through the e-payment facility on the HCoI website or the Haj Suvidha App using credit cards, debit cards or net banking, or via a specified pay-in slip at any branch of the State Bank of India or Union Bank of India.

The committee said the unique bank reference number provided to each pilgrim's cover must be mentioned in the deposit receipt. It warned that failure to deposit the amount within the deadline could lead to cancellation of the Haj seat. The third and final instalment will be determined after finalisation of all expenses in India and Saudi Arabia and notified later. Greater Kashmir reports that the District Administration Ramban has issued a directive to publicise the schedule locally through print, electronic and social media.
