Haj 2026 Application Process Begins: Indian Muslims Invited to Embark on the Sacred Pilgrimage Through Online Registration
The #HajCommitteeOfIndia, operating under the aegis of the #MinistryOfMinorityAffairs, has officially announced the commencement of the Haj 2026 application process, offering Indian Muslims a formal and streamlined pathway to undertake the deeply spiritual journey to #Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
This annual pilgrimage is considered one of the most sacred obligations in Islam, and every year, thousands of Indian Muslims participate under the guidance and arrangements facilitated by the government through the # HajjCommittee.
Apply Online with Ease Through the Haj Portal and Mobile App
The #onlineapplicationprocess for Hajj 2026 is now live and will remain open until July 31, 2025. Applications can be submitted through two primary digital platforms:
-
-
The dedicated mobile application: #HAJSuvidha, available on both #Android and #iOS platforms
These platforms have been optimized for ease of access and convenience, allowing applicants to complete the full process—uploading documents, selecting preferences, and tracking application status—from the comfort of their homes.
Important Guidelines for Prospective Pilgrims
The #HajCommittee has emphasized that applicants should thoroughly review the official guidelines, undertakings, and instructions before applying to avoid errors and last-minute issues.
One of the key eligibility requirements is possession of a valid #MachineReadablePassport. The passport must meet the following conditions:
-
Issued on or before July 31, 2025
-
Must remain valid at least until December 31, 2026
Without a passport meeting these specifications, the application will be considered ineligible.
The committee has also urged prospective pilgrims to self-assess their readiness, both physically and financially, for the rigorous and spiritually demanding pilgrimage.
The journey spans multiple days and involves intense travel and religious obligation; hence, individuals must ensure they are fully capable of undertaking it.
Cancellations and Refund Policy
In its official communication, the #HajCommitteeOfIndia has issued a cautionary note regarding cancellations. Unless caused by extreme circumstances, such as death or life-threatening medical emergencies, cancellations may lead to penalties or loss of deposits.
Applicants are advised to consider this before submitting their applications.
Haj Suvidha App – A Step Toward #DigitalIndia
The #HAJSuvidhaApp is part of the government’s ongoing push for a #DigitalIndia. Through this mobile platform, applicants can:
-
Access step-by-step instructions
-
Upload the required documents
-
Receive alerts and updates
-

This technology-driven process aims to bring transparency, efficiency, and convenience to the sacred process of Haj registration.
Government’s Commitment to Inclusivity and Access
The Government of India has reiterated its commitment to ensuring that the process is fair, inclusive, and accessible to all eligible Muslims across the country.
Efforts have been made to eliminate middlemen and ensure that no undue charges or unauthorized agents are involved.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to use only the official website and the #HAJSuvidhaApp for all queries, registrations, and updates to avoid falling victim to fraud.
