Haj Committee of India 2024 Selection List - Summary
The Haj Committee of India 2024 selection list is a key focus for those preparing for their pilgrimage. Every year, the Government of India (GoI) collaborates with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) to sign the Haj Agreement, which determines the number of Haj seats reserved for India. From the overall quota set for the Government of India, 80% is allocated to the Haj Committee of India (HCoI), while the remaining 20% is designated for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).
Haj Application Forms (HAFs) can be easily obtained at no charge from any State or Union Territory Haj Committee. Additionally, you can download them from the official Haj Committee of India website at [hajcommittee.gov.in](http://hajcommittee.gov.in) or through the Android Mobile App “HAJ COMMITTEE OF INDIA,” which is available on the Play Store.
HAJ Eligibility Criteria
- Persons must hold a valid, machine-readable Indian international passport as per HCoI guidelines.
