Maldives Pension Administration Office (MPAO) stated on Wednesday that at present, over 6000 Maldivians qualify to deduct Hajj expenses from their accumulated pension funds.
Late February, the parliament passed an amendment to Pension Act that allows the Pension Fund to be used to finance Hajj pilgrimage. According to the new amendment, the procedure to issue the money from the Pension Fund must be implemented within three months after the bill has been ratified.
