Bhai Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Haj subsidy discontinued: Credit for phasing it out goes to Supreme Court Haj subsidy scrapped: The subsidy, which stood at Rs 685 crore in 2011 is down to Rs 200 crore in 2017. It seems as if the phasing out will happen even ahead of schedule. Phasing out the Haj subsidy was a long-standing plan of the government of India, prompted not by fiscal prudence or politics, but an order of the Supreme Court which, in 2012, stated in no uncertain terms that 10 years would be the upper limit for the continuation of the Rs 685 crore (in 2011) Haj subsidy. In the interim, the subsidy has been steadily going down — it was around Rs 200 crore last year and the phasing out was endorsed by the Afzal Amanullah Committee in its October 2017 report. Quote
