BPKH Will Disburse Funds of Rp8.2 Trillion for Hajj Costs in 2024

Dream - The Financial Management Agency for Hajj (BPKH) has prepared a budget amounting to Rp8.2 trillion as the Value of Benefits fund for the operational costs of the 1445 Hijriah/2024 M Hajj. Previously, the BPIH Task Force of Commission VIII of the DPR, together with the government, agreed on the cost of next year's Hajj pilgrimage at Rp93 million.

"BPKH is ready to cover the costs, including an additional quota of 20,000 people this year, in order to expedite the waiting time for Hajj worship."

Head of the BPKH Executive Board, Fadlul Imamsyah, said in a working meeting with the Indonesian House of Representatives Commission VIII in Jakarta, quoted from Liputan6.com, Tuesday, November 28, 2023.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the HTML tags is as follows: "The value of self-benefit includes the components of the cost of organizing the Hajj in Saudi Arabia and the components of the cost of organizing the Hajj domestically. The BPIH Working Committee of the Eighth Commission of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) and the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) have also agreed to the use of the value of the special Hajj benefit for 1445 H/2024 M amounting to Rp14,558,658,000."

"Previously, the Government and the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) agreed on the Cost of Organizing Hajj Worship (BPIH) for the year 1445 Hijriah/2024 AD, which amounts to Rp93,410,286 per person."

As for the details, they are divided into two, namely those sourced from the Hajj Travel Expense (Bipih) and the Value of Benefits. Bipih on average amounts to Rp56,046,172 (60 percent) borne by the pilgrims, and the Value of Benefits borne by BPKH amounts to Rp37,364,111 (40 percent).

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: The cost components of the Hajj journey include flight expenses, accommodation in Mecca, partial accommodation in Medina, living costs, and visa fees.

Regarding the repayment of Bipih, it will be paid by the pilgrims after deducting the initial deposit and the amount of the virtual account benefit value balance of each prospective Hajj participant.

"Overall, the usage of the Benefit Value amounts to Rp8,200,040,638,567. We assess positively the decision that considers the magnitude of Bipih to be greater than the subsidy of the benefit value in order to maintain the value of isthita'ah for the Hajj pilgrims."

The text "kata Fadlul Imamsyah" translates to "words of Fadlul Imamsyah" in English.

Fadlul Imamsyah hopes that the earlier announcement of fees can provide an opportunity for prospective hajj pilgrims in 2024 to make full installment payments, so that they do not feel burdened during departure. "BPKH urges Indonesian hajj pilgrims who are scheduled to depart in 2024 to prepare themselves and complete all necessary requirements in accordance with the decisions and regulations in force," he said.
