If you have visited Mata Vaishno Devi then you would know that without the travel slip, devotees are not allowed to enter Banganga. That is, the first stop of your journey is to enter from Banganga by taking the travel slip. But in the coming time you will not get travel slip to visit.

Among them, instead of the passenger slip, the new technology Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) service is also one. The new RFID service has been made mandatory from August. That is, if you go for darshan from next month, then you will not need to take passenger slip.

Complete information will be given in the card along with the photo of the devotee. The RFID card will be received from the Yatra Registration Counter of the Shrine Board before starting the Yatra. After the completion of the journey, this card will have to be returned to the devotee. This card can be used multiple times like a metro token.

Shrine Board has given tender for RFID card to a Pune based company. If you register online, on reaching Katra, you will get a message on your phone that at what time, at which counter you have to take the RFID card. Wireless Fidelity facility is being developed for this.

In 1970, the tourism department took over the responsibility of travel slip. After the formation of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in 1986, the responsibility of travel slip was taken over by the Shrine Board.
