  8. To apply for the Yatra Permit, the Applicant-Yatri will submit the following documents to the Registration Officer: Filled-in prescribed Application Form and Prescribed Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) issued on or after the specified date by the Authorized Doctor/ Medical Institution. Four passport-sized photographs ( three for Yatra Permits and one for the Application form).
  9. The Registration Officer checks the following: whether the Application Form has been correctly filled-in and signed by the Applicant-Yatri;  whether the CHC has been issued by the Authorized Doctor/ Medical Institution; whether the CHC has been issued on or after the specified date. The Registration Official shall issue Yatra Permits bearing BALTAL for Baltal Route and PAHALGAM for the Pahalgam route. For each day and route, the Registration Officer issues Yatra Permits as per color coding for last year given below:
    Day Color of Yatra Permit for Pahalgam Route Color of Yatra Permit for Baltal Route
    Monday Lavender COLOR Lemon Chiffon COLOR
    Tuesday Pink Lace COLOR Blue COLOR
    Wednesday Beige COLOR Honeydew COLOR
    Thursday Peach COLOR Lavender COLOR
    Friday Lemon Chiffon COLOR Pink Lace COLOR
    Saturday Blue COLOR Beige COLOR
    Sunday Honeydew COLOR Peach COLOR
  10. The specific day on which a pilgrim is registered to undertake the Yatra (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) is printed on the Yatra Permit. The day printed on the Yatra Permit is the day on which the Yatri will be allowed to cross the Access Control Gates at Baltal and Chandanwari (Pahalgam).
  11. The Bank Branch has to ensure that the date for which the Yatra Permit is issued for crossing the Access Control Gates matches with the day (i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) is printed on the Yatra Permit before issuing the Permit to the Yatri.
  12. In the Yatra Permit Forms, the Yatra year and date of Yatra are pre-printed. Therefore, it is mandatory for the issuing Bank Branch to stamp/write the Yatra year and date of Shri Amarnath Yatra and paste the date and year with transparent tape (pasting of transparent tape is important in order to make the date and year of Yatra tamper-proof). However, the stamping of the date, year and Bank branch shall be done only at the time of issuance of the Yatra Permit. In no case, should any Yatra Permit be stamped in advance. This aspect is ensured positively.
  13. If the Application Form and CHC are in order, the Registration Officer shall issue a YP to the applicant against a payment (last year its was Rs 50/-) per Yatra Permit (of the aforesaid amount Rs.35/- was remitted in SASB’s( Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board ) account and the remaining amount shall be retained by the Bank), after following the steps mentioned in paras 15-17.
  14. The Registration Officer shall affix passport size photographs and fill in the Yatra Permit Form on the spot as per the details mentioned in the Application Form and the CHC. The date of the Yatra is also filled incorrectly.
  15. The Registration Officer shall sign the Yatra Permit and apply the Bank Branch Seal on the Yatra Permit in such a way that the Seal is partly imprinted on the photograph of the applicant-Yatri and partly on the YP. However, the stamping of the date, year, and Bank branch shall be done only at the time of issuance of the Yatra Permit. In no case, should any Yatra Permit be stamped in advance. This aspect is ensured positively.
  16. Before issuing the Yatra Permit to the applicant-Yatri, the Registration Officer shall record the following particulars: Date of issue of Yatra Permit. The Serial Number of Yatra Permit. Name, address and telephone/ mobile number of the applicant-Yatri. Name of next-of-kin of applicant-Yatri, to be contacted in case of any emergency. Route of pilgrimage. Date of embarking on the Yatra from Baltal/ Pahalgam.
  17. The Nodal Officer/ Nodal Bank Branch will consolidate the total number of Yatra Permits issued (Bank Branch-wise and State- wise) during the day and convey to the SASB the status of the same, date-wise and route-wise, by 7 p.m. every day. This requirement needs to be complied with and e-mailed to SASB( Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board ) without fail every day.
  18. Once the registration process is over, the Registration Branch shall forward to the CEO, SASB, all the Application Forms and CHCs against which YPs have been issued.
