The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board has said it is set to commence the refund of excess payment to Pilgrims who participated in the 2022 Hajj exercise through the Board.
A statement from the director of the Board, Mallam Muhammad Danmallam said that all those who paid above the stipulated Hajj fare would get a refund of the balance through their Bank Accounts.
Danmallam said all pilgrims who paid more than the N2, 449,607.89k which was the actual Hajj fare for the year would get a refund of the excess payment.
The director disclosed that affected Pilgrims are to submit their original receipt of payment with account details to the Account section of the Board or their respective area officers to process the payment.
According to him, ‘’Pilgrims who paid through the Hajj Saving Scheme or balanced their 2022 Hajj fare through the scheme would get a refund through the Account they opened for the exercise.’’
He stressed that those beneficiaries without bank accounts should forward a letter authorizing the Board to make the payment to the third party account, hence attaching a photocopy of the means of the identity of the owner of the account to credit for the refund.
A total of 1584 Pilgrims who participated in the 2022 Hajj through the FCT Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board are to benefit from the refund out of the 1993 Pilgrims that participated in the last Hajj exercise.
