Talking to media he said the package is likely to remain Rs 550,000 however the federal cabinet will finalize the hajj package and air fares.
Efforts were being underway to keep hajj package at minimum level, however the increase in hajj package is inevitable owing to variety of reasons including levy of new taxes, increase in hajj fee, air fare, insurance fee, increase in Maktab, accommodation, transport charges. Likewise the parity ratio of Riyal-Rupee has also registered increase has significantly contributed in increasing hajj package.
