The government has opened the second payment window for pilgrims selected under Pakistan’s Regular Hajj Scheme 2026. Pilgrims can now complete their second installment while preparing for the upcoming pilgrimage.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has set October 5 to October 20, 2026 as the payment period. Pilgrims must complete the process within the announced deadline to retain their Hajj selection.
The ministry has introduced an important requirement before pilgrims can submit their second payment. They must first provide a certified medical fitness certificate through the designated digital platforms.
How Pilgrims Can Pay the Second Hajj Installment
Selected pilgrims can submit their second installment digitally through the Pak Hajj App or the Digital Hajj Portal.
The payment process remains the same as the procedure followed for the first installment. However, pilgrims must complete the medical documentation requirement before making the second payment.
Therefore, applicants should ensure their medical fitness certificate has been properly certified and uploaded through the relevant platform.
The ministry has listed the second-installment announcement among its latest Hajj updates.
Medical Certificate Required Before Payment
A medical fitness certificate is now mandatory for pilgrims proceeding under the government scheme.
Applicants must upload their certified certificate through the Pak Hajj App or Digital Hajj Portal. They will become eligible to submit the second installment after completing this requirement.
The ministry’s Hajj documentation includes a medical fitness certificate as part of the pilgrimage requirements.
Pilgrims should therefore complete the medical certification and upload it before attempting to make the payment. This can help them avoid delays as the deadline approaches.
Hajj Package Changes No Longer Available
The ministry has already closed the option for pilgrims to change their selected Hajj packages.
Therefore, applicants must proceed with the package already assigned to them. The latest payment window does not reopen the package-change facility.
Pilgrims should consequently focus on completing their remaining requirements before the deadline.
What Happens If the Second Payment Is Missed?
The October 20 deadline is particularly important for selected pilgrims. Those who fail to submit the second installment by the deadline will have their Hajj applications automatically cancelled.
However, the amount they have already deposited will be refunded to their respective accounts.
Pilgrims selected under the Regular Hajj Scheme should therefore complete both the medical certification and payment process within the announced period.
With the second installment window now open, applicants have until October 20, 2026, to complete the required payment.
The ministry’s latest announcement gives pilgrims a clear deadline, while the mandatory medical certificate adds another step before the second payment can be submitted. Completing both requirements on time will help selected pilgrims avoid cancellation of their Hajj applications.
