According to Ubandawaki, the HSS is a queue-based system of first-come first-serve that enables pilgrims pay for Hajj over a period of time they desire. Intending pilgrims can participate in the scheme by registering and opening an account on the platform through the State pilgrims welfare boards offices, HSS web portal or any JAIZ Bank outlet.
