Question
I have deposited 3 lakh rupees in the bank for Hajj. Hajj was not held this year due to visa paperwork problems. I intend to go next year. My question is, if the year has passed, do I have to pay Zakat on the money deposited in the bank to go for Hajj? I will benefit if you let me know. 5687275444

Yes, it will be obligatory to pay Zakat on that money after the year has passed. Although it was deposited for the purpose of Hajj, since it was not spent and was deposited for the whole year, Zakat of that amount has to be paid Note that if the money was given to an Hajj agency in advance for expenses, then zakat would not have to be paid on this money. 4164284548
