The Pilgrims may be informed specifically about the Azizia Category, before filling their Application Forms.

                As you aware that, Haj is a time bound programme. Any delay in submission of Application Forms and Passports within the prescribed time limit will have a direct impact on the calendar of activities and will be difficult to obtain Haj Visa on the Passports at the last moment. It is, therefore requested that the State/Union Territory Haj Committees should strictly adhere to the date fixed by the Haj Committee of India, to make the ensuing Haj MOST SUCCESSFUL.
