SASB announces refund of registration fee to registered yatris

In the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board has announced that the yatris who registered for Amarnath Yatra this year, can get their refund of their registration fee from 1st October to 31st October this year.

Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board had made elaborate arrangements this year for the live telecast of morning and evening Aarti on TV Channels and social media in addition to facilitating Virtual Pooja, Hawan, and Online Prasad booking. Around 7 to 8 Million devotees performed the free virtual darshan on Jio TV platform through live streaming on Shri Amarnathji Channel.

Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board has decided that those yatris who want to get their registration fee refunded shall have to approach the



concerned bank branch which had issued the yatra permit, and surrender the original permit along with an application for the refund. The refund shall be made to each yatri individually and not to anybody else on their behalf.

The Board has also kept the option for revalidation of Yatra permit for Yatra 2022. For this, the yatris must keep the Yatra Permit form intact which they can get revalidated by visiting same bank branch when the registration opens for Yatra 2022. 

Pertinently, the annual pilgrimage of Shri Amarnathji this year was canceled due to Covid-19 pandemic. However, the Shrine Board carried-out all the traditional religious rituals at Shri Amarnathji holy cave smoothly.
