What Is the Last Date for Hajj 2027’s Second Installment?
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced that pilgrims selected under the Government Hajj Scheme 2027 must deposit their second installment between October 5 and October 20, 2026.
According to the ministry’s latest update reported on October 12, 51,500 pilgrims had deposited the second installment, with Rs. 32.6 billion received.
Pilgrims who have not completed their payment should act before the deadline rather than waiting until the final day.

According to the ministry’s announcement, applications of pilgrims who fail to deposit the second installment by October 20 will be cancelled. Amounts already deposited will be refunded to the applicant’s account.
Read the latest announcement through Associated Press of Pakistan.
Who Needs to Pay the Second Hajj Installment?
This payment applies to pilgrims who have already been selected under Pakistan’s Government Hajj Scheme 2027 and are required to deposit the outstanding amount.
Before making a payment, check the following:
- Your Hajj application has been accepted under the government scheme.
- Your application and payment details are available through the official system.
- You have obtained and uploaded the required medical fitness certificate.
- You know the outstanding amount applicable to your Hajj package.
- You are using an officially approved payment method.
If you applied through a private Hajj operator, do not automatically follow the government scheme’s payment instructions. Private scheme arrangements and payment procedures may differ.
How to Get the Hajj 2027 Medical Fitness Certificate
The ministry has made a medical fitness certificate mandatory before the second installment can be paid.
Follow these steps to complete the process.
Step 1: Open the official Hajj portal or app
Visit the Ministry of Religious Affairs website and use its official Hajj 2027 links to access the Pak Hajj App or Digital Hajj Portal.
Avoid downloading applications from unknown websites or links shared by strangers.
Step 2: Find the medical fitness form
Log in using the details associated with your Hajj application. Locate the medical fitness certificate or form for Hajj 2027.
The ministry has instructed pilgrims to print the prescribed medical fitness form and have it verified by a medical doctor.
Step 3: Visit a medical doctor
Take the prescribed form to a medical doctor and complete the required examination and verification.
Make sure the form is completed accurately and that the required signatures, stamps and medical information are present.
Do not submit a self-prepared certificate in place of the prescribed form.
Step 4: Upload the verified certificate
Upload the completed certificate through the Pak Hajj App or Digital Hajj Portal, following the instructions shown in your account.
Check that the document is readable and that the upload has been completed successfully.
Step 5: Check verification status
Do not assume that uploading the certificate automatically means it has been approved. Check the status in the official system and follow any instructions if additional information is required.
Once the certificate meets the system’s requirements, proceed with the second installment payment.
How to Pay the Hajj 2027 Second Installment
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has announced digital payment facilities for pilgrims under the Government Hajj Scheme 2027.
The reported payment options include:
- 1LINK: Online payment through the official digital Hajj system.
- Bank card: Payment through the available official card-payment facility.
- Manual bank challan: Payment through the prescribed bank challan process.
The availability of a particular method may depend on the instructions displayed in the official system.
Step-by-step payment procedure
- Open the official Pak Hajj App or Digital Hajj Portal.
- Log in to your Hajj application.
- Confirm that your medical fitness certificate has been uploaded and meets the requirements.
- Open the second installment or payment section.
- Check the outstanding amount shown for your application.
- Select an available official payment method.
- Complete the payment according to the system’s instructions.
- Save your receipt or transaction reference.
- Recheck your application to confirm that the payment has been recorded.
If you choose a manual bank challan, follow the designated bank and challan instructions. Do not deposit money into an account supplied by an unofficial agent.
How Much Is the Second Installment for Hajj 2027?
The exact amount payable depends on the amount already deposited and the payment schedule applicable to your Hajj package.
Rather than relying on figures shared on social media, pilgrims should check the outstanding amount displayed in their official Hajj account and compare it with the ministry’s latest payment instructions.
Before paying, verify:
- The total amount due.
- The amount already deposited.
- The outstanding second installment.
- Any payment reference or challan number.
- Whether the payment has been credited to the correct application.
Always retain proof of payment in case a transaction takes time to appear in the system.
What Should You Do If Your Payment Is Not Showing?
If you have paid the second installment but the payment status has not updated, avoid immediately making another payment.
Instead:
- Save your bank receipt, card confirmation or 1LINK transaction reference.
- Check whether the transaction was successful.
- Sign in again and review your Hajj payment status.
- Follow the official portal’s support instructions if the amount remains outstanding.
- Contact the relevant bank or official Hajj support channel with your transaction details.
Never share your password, PIN or one-time verification code with someone claiming to update your payment manually.
Can You Change Your Hajj Package Now?
The ministry has announced that the facility to modify or change Hajj packages has been closed for the current payment stage.
Pilgrims should therefore check their existing package details carefully and follow the instructions attached to their application. Do not assume that you can change the package simply by paying a different amount.
For any exceptional circumstances, consult the ministry’s official announcements and support channels before taking action.
What About Private Hajj Scheme Pilgrims?
Pakistan also has a Private Hajj Scheme for 2027, but its arrangements differ from those of the Government Hajj Scheme.
Pilgrims booking through private operators should confirm their booking, package, payment schedule and operator status through the official ministry system.
The ministry has specifically advised pilgrims to use the Pak Hajj App or Digital Hajj Portal for booking and payment under the private scheme. Avoid direct payments to individuals or agents unless the official process explicitly authorises the payment method.
You can review current announcements on the Ministry of Religious Affairs website.
