As Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine is emerging as a premier pilgrimage centre in North India with annual number of pilgrims crossing 69 lakh mark last year, the Board managing the yatra has roped in Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Government of India Undertaking, for issuing registration slips through its outlets across the country.

Additional Chief Executive Officer, SMVDSB, Mr Puneet Kumar and top executives of the BPCL were also present.
Dr Kumar said that tremendous increase in yatra influx had made the Board to devise ways for better management of Yatra. ‘Providing quality services to the devotees has been our main endeavour’, he added
As per present system, Yatra Registration for Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine is being done either at Yatra Registration Counter, Katra or through the Official website of Board by using credit card facility.
The Board, as part of its commitment to provide more convenient facilities to the devotees, has now further extended its facility of Yatra Registration through the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited. The yatra slips would now be available at BPCL petrol pumps across the country.
