The SBP had directed the designated banks “to keep their concerned branches open from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on November 30, 2024 and December 1, 2024 throughout the country.”
To support the pilgrims, the government reduced Hajj airfare by Rs14,000, setting the cost at Rs220,000 per person. This reduction, part of a Rs1.24 billion relief package, marks the second consecutive year of airfare cuts. Airlines, including PIA, Saudi Airlines, and private carriers, have agreed to the revised rates. This has provided much-needed financial relief to Hajj applicants.
