Govt Issues Notice on Hajj Deposit Withdrawal

The Ministry of Religious Affairs has issued a special notice regarding the withdrawal of the deposit for this year's Hajj pilgrimage in case of death, illness, or expiry of age limit of the depositor, reports media.

According to the notice issued on Wednesday, aspiring pilgrims who had already deposited their Hajj funds but are unable to attend this year due to death, illness, or age limit will be allowed to withdraw their deposit money.

In these cases, the nominees will be able to withdraw the deposit money by applying to the registration refund system by logging on to www.hajj.gov.bd website.

However, funds cannot be withdrawn if the depositor nominates another person against his registration.

In such cases, Hajj nominees will need to complete the registration by paying the full amount of the package.
