Federal Cabinet Approves Four-Year Hajj Policy and Plan for 2027-2030

The Federal cabinet, Chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has approved the Hajj Policy and Plan for 2027-2030, according to an official statement. The cabinet praised the Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and his team for ensuring effective arrangements and improved services for pilgrims.

The newly approved policy is the first four-year Hajj policy and plan, unlike previous one-year policies. The government said the new framework aims to improve Hajj operations and provide better facilities for pilgrims through a more organized and efficient system.

Under the new policy, the entire Hajj management system will be digitized, including payments through digital platforms. Applicants will be able to register continuously for any year up to 2030, while separate quotas for government and private Hajj schemes, along with long and short Hajj programs, will also be introduced.
