The refund shall be made to each yatri individually and not to anybody else on their behalf.

The SASB has also kept the option for revalidation of yatra permit for yatra-2022. For this, pilgrims must keep the yatra permit form intact, which they can get revalidated by visiting the same bank branch when the registration opens for yatra- 2022, the officials said.
