Hajj 2027 Payment at a Glance
Pakistan's Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has, for the first time, fully digitalised the Hajj application and payment process for the 2027 Hajj season. After mandatory pre-registration opened on 22 June 2026, the paid application phase began on 18 August 2026, allowing registered pilgrims to select a package and submit their first instalment through the Pak Hajj App or the Hajj Portal. Pakistan's total Hajj 2027 quota stands at 179,210 seats, split roughly 60% government scheme (107,526 seats) and 40% private scheme (71,684 seats).

This guide reflects the latest confirmed announcements from the Ministry of Religious Affairs at the time of writing — always cross-check exact dates and amounts on the official Pak Hajj App or Hajj Portal (hajj.mora.gov.pk) before making any payment, and never pay dues through any agent, individual, or unofficial website.
Hajj 2027 Payment Schedule: First & Second Instalment
For the first time, Hajj expenses for the government scheme are being collected in two equal instalments rather than a single lump-sum deposit. This is the single most searched question right now — "hajj 2027 second payment date" and "when will second payment begin" — so here's exactly what has been confirmed.
First Instalment
Opened 18 August 2026Applicants must deposit 50% of their selected package cost to confirm their seat. For the long Hajj package (~Rs 1.2 million), this works out to roughly Rs 600,000. Seats are confirmed strictly on a first-come, first-served basis as payments are received.
Second Instalment
Expected first week of October 2026The Federal Minister for Religious Affairs has publicly stated the remaining 50% will be collected in the first week of October 2026. The Ministry typically confirms the exact opening date only a few days in advance via the Pak Hajj App and official notifications.
Short Hajj Scheme
30,000 seats — fills fastestThe Short Hajj Scheme (20-25 days) has a limited quota of 30,000 seats and historically closes faster than the long scheme. Once the quota is filled, online payment for this scheme stops immediately, regardless of the calendar date.
Long Hajj Scheme
77,526 seatsThe 40-day Long Hajj Scheme has the larger allocation and is expected to remain open longer, but the Ministry has warned that further payments will stop as soon as the scheme's quota is filled — so early payment is strongly advised.
If your seat is not confirmed once a scheme's quota fills, you are automatically placed on the waiting list for the following year, while your registration for Hajj 2028–2030 continues under the Ministry's multi-year policy.
Don't wait for a fixed deadline. Because seats close the moment a quota fills — not on a specific date — the safest approach is to complete your first instalment as early as possible rather than waiting until closer to any rumoured last date.

How to Pay Hajj 2027 Fees: Step-by-Step
The Ministry has digitalised the entire Hajj 2027 payment journey end-to-end. Here's exactly how to submit your instalment, whether you prefer paying online or in person at a bank branch.
Log in to the Pak Hajj App or Portal
Use your CNIC and registration details to log in to the Pak Hajj App or hajj.mora.gov.pk, where your pre-registration record is already saved.
Select your scheme & package
Choose Government or Private scheme, then select the Long or Short Hajj package, and any optional add-ons like the Makkah double-bed room facility.
Choose your payment method
Pick either "Online Payment" (OneLink PSID or debit/credit card) or "Bank Challan" (generates a printable digital challan for HBL branch deposit).
Complete the 50% first instalment
Pay exactly half of your selected package cost. Partial or incorrect amounts may not confirm your seat, so double-check the amount shown on your PSID or challan before paying.
Save your receipt
Screenshot or print your payment confirmation and PSID/challan number. Keep it safe until your status updates to "Paid" on the portal.
Track your status & await instalment 2
Check your application status periodically on the app. Watch for the official announcement opening the second instalment window, expected early October 2026.
Private Hajj scheme applicants follow a similar process but select an authorized Hajj Group Organizer (one of 25 MoRA-licensed companies) via the Pak Hajj App before making payment.
How to Generate a PSID for Hajj 2027
A PSID (Payment Slip ID) is the unique identifier generated by OneLink that lets you pay your Hajj dues through internet banking, mobile banking, an ATM, or over the counter at any participating bank — not just HBL.
Step 1: Select package
On Pak Hajj App or PortalAfter logging in, confirm your scheme and package selection — the PSID amount is calculated automatically as 50% of your chosen package.
Step 2: Choose OneLink / PSID
Under payment optionsSelect the "OneLink PSID" payment method rather than "Bank Challan" if you prefer to pay through your own bank's app or internet banking.
Step 3: Copy your PSID number
Usually 16-18 digitsNote down the generated PSID number exactly as shown — even a single digit error will cause the payment to fail or go to the wrong account.
Step 4: Pay via your bank
Any 1-Link member bankEnter the PSID in your bank's "Pay Bill" or "Government Dues" section, verify the amount matches your instalment exactly, and confirm payment.
PSID not generating or showing an invalid format? This has been a reported issue during high-traffic periods. Log out, clear your browser cache or switch to the Pak Hajj App, and retry after a short wait. If it still fails, use the "Bank Challan" option instead and pay directly at an HBL branch — see the next section. WhatsApp our team if you'd like us to walk you through it live.
HBL Branch Payment & Digital Challan
Habib Bank Limited (HBL) is the officially designated banking partner for Hajj 2027 dues under the government scheme. If you prefer paying in person rather than online, here's how the branch payment process works.
Which HBL branch should I visit?
Any HBL branch nationwide can accept your Hajj 2027 challan payment — there is no need to visit a specific "Hajj desk" branch. Simply generate your digital challan from the Pak Hajj App or Hajj Portal first, then take the printed challan to your nearest HBL branch.
How to generate the challan
On the Pak Hajj App or Hajj Portal, select "Bank Challan" instead of "Online Payment" after choosing your package. This produces a PDF challan with your CNIC, package details and the exact 50% amount due.
What to bring to the branch
Carry a printed copy of your challan, your original CNIC, and the exact cash or account transfer amount shown on the challan to avoid delays at the counter.
After paying at HBL
Keep the stamped bank receipt safe and check your Pak Hajj App within 24-48 hours to confirm your payment status has updated to "Paid" or "Confirmed."
*Some applicants have reported temporary banking link outages at individual HBL branches during peak hours. If one branch's system is down, any other HBL branch can process the same challan — it is not tied to a single location.
Hajj 2027 Package Cost Breakdown
Understanding exactly how much you owe — and when — makes the instalment process far less stressful. Here's the current confirmed cost structure for the government scheme.
| Package | Total Cost | 1st Instalment (50%) | 2nd Instalment (50%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Hajj (38-40 days) | ~Rs 1,200,000 | ~Rs 600,000 | ~Rs 600,000 |
| Short Hajj (20-25 days) | ~Rs 1,300,000 | ~Rs 650,000 | ~Rs 650,000 |
| Optional: Makkah double-bed room | +Rs 210,000 | Paid alongside package instalments | |
*Figures reflect the latest publicly announced package prices for the government scheme at the time of writing. Private scheme prices vary by operator and can be significantly higher depending on hotel category, group size and services included — always confirm final pricing directly with your chosen MoRA-licensed operator.
Last Date to Register & Apply for Hajj 2027
One of the most searched — and most misunderstood — questions is "last date to register for hajj 2027." Here's the clearest picture based on official Ministry statements.
Pre-registration
Opened 22 June 2026Free CNIC-based pre-registration remains open on a rolling basis under the Ministry's 2027-2030 multi-year policy — there is no fixed closing date for this free step, but registering earlier secures your place in the queue.
Paid application phase
Opened 18 August 2026The final, paid application phase for already-registered pilgrims opened on 18 August 2026, closing automatically once each scheme's quota is filled rather than on a fixed calendar date.
No confirmed hard deadline
Quota-based, not date-basedBecause seats close as soon as the quota fills, there is currently no single published "last date" — the effective deadline is whenever your chosen scheme's seats run out. Treat any social media post claiming a fixed deadline with caution unless it links to an official MoRA notification.
Bottom line: if you are already pre-registered, complete your first instalment now rather than waiting — especially if you want the Short Hajj Scheme, since its 30,000-seat quota is expected to fill fastest. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll help you check your registration and payment status today.
Government vs Private Hajj Scheme: Payment Differences
Government Scheme
107,526 seats (60% of quota). Fixed package pricing set by the Ministry, paid in two 50% instalments directly through the Pak Hajj App, Hajj Portal, or an HBL branch challan. Best for applicants who want the most cost-predictable route.
Private Scheme
71,684 seats (40% of quota). Applicants select one of 25 MoRA-licensed Hajj Group Organizers via the Pak Hajj App, with pricing and instalment terms set by the individual operator, though all payments must still go through the official portal.
Payment channel — same for both
Whether Government or Private scheme, all official payments must be made exclusively through the Pak Hajj App / Hajj Portal via PSID, card, or HBL challan. Any payment made through an unofficial channel is not the Ministry's responsibility.
Which should you choose?
Government scheme suits applicants who want fixed, transparent pricing. Private scheme can offer more flexibility on hotel category, group composition and dates, but requires more due diligence on the operator's track record.

Overseas Pakistanis: Paying Hajj 2027 Dues From Abroad
The Ministry has confirmed that overseas Pakistanis are fully eligible to register and pay for Hajj 2027 without travelling to Pakistan.
Registration
Same digital systemOverseas Pakistanis register through the same Pak Hajj App and Hajj Portal using their CNIC and passport details, exactly like applicants inside Pakistan.
Payment from abroad
Card or PSIDInstalments can be paid using an international debit/credit card directly on the portal, or a family member in Pakistan can generate the PSID/challan and pay locally on the applicant's behalf.
Passport requirement
Valid until 16 Nov 2027All applicants, including overseas Pakistanis, must hold a passport valid until at least 16 November 2027 before the payment/booking stage — renew early if needed.
Payment Problems & Portal Issues
As with any brand-new nationwide digital system, some applicants have reported technical issues while trying to pay their Hajj 2027 dues. Here's what's been reported and how to work around it.
PSID format errors
Some users have received PSIDs that don't match the expected format. Solution: cancel and regenerate, or switch to the manual digital challan option instead.
Payment shows "unpaid" after paying
A few applicants paid successfully through their bank but the portal still showed an unpaid status. Solution: wait 24-48 hours for reconciliation before generating a fresh PSID, and keep your original receipt as proof.
Banking link down at HBL branch
Some branches reported temporary link outages during peak hours. Solution: try a different HBL branch, or attempt payment again later the same day.
Family member grouping issues
Some applicants had trouble adding or merging family members into one Hajj group. Solution: ensure CNIC and passport names match exactly, and retry during off-peak hours (early morning tends to be less congested).
