The MD or Director of the company will give undertaking on a stamp paper that his company is not blacklisted in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and no dispute in the management of the company is sub judice under SECP or any other court of law. The firm is not a defaulter of any bank. The company will accept the terms of Haj Policy 2024 and Service Provider Agreement.
