(Source: L88Q No. 208 dated 11 December, 1995 by C. Swan) On Subsidy for Haj Pilgrims
Indian pilgrims proceeding for Haj pilgrimage have the option to draw Saudi Riyals 4600/- or Saudi Riyals 5500/-. Due to change in exchange rate, they will have to incur an additional expenditure of Rs. 6072/- or Rs. 7260/ -, depending on the option exercised, for Haj-96 as compared to Haj-95.
The Government have been providing concessional air-fare to Indian Haj pilgrims. The chartering of aircraft for Haj-1996 has still to be finalized and decision regarding the concessional fare will be taken thereafter. (Source: LSUQ No.2249 dated 11 December, 1995 by 8.8. Owalal)
