This year, the government of Saudi Arabia is all set to welcome a record number of pilgrims. During the Hajj season, along with the government, the private sector is also ready to provide quality services. This year, more or less 2 million Hajj pilgrims are expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia.
During the Hajj, extensive preparations have been made in Makkah and its adjacent areas to provide maximum facilities to the pilgrims and to save them from any unnecessary problems. A total of 3 million people will perform Hajj.
During the month of Ramadan, the number of visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque was 3 crore 3 million. Even during the Hajj season, people coming from abroad visit the Holy Prophet’s shrine in Masjid-e-Nabawi before or following Hajj.
This time, the government has given responsibilities to 3500 people to facilitate the visitors from outside Madinah. All the holy places in Madinah have been renovated.
He said it is also expected that the issuance of similar ITGOs soon will also block over 893,000 SIMs not included in the list of active taxpayers.
Asif S Kasbati also indicated that one or more ITGOs may be issued for around 835,000 or more because of the difference between the ATL for the tax year 2023 as on 30 April 2024, 4, 073,068 as compared to the taxpayers in tax year 2022 as on 1st January 2024 the difference is 5,416,068 and even more. While in the already issued general order, only 506,071 ID cards have been issued.
