- You must be at least 18 years of age and legally competent to enter into contracts under Indian law.
- You must operate an identifiable, physical service establishment located within the state of Tamil Nadu.
- You must register through a valid, authenticated invitation token issued by an authorized Franchise Partner or platform administrator.
- All registration information provided, including centre name, operator name, email address, mobile number, district, and taluk, must be accurate, complete, and current.
Registration Fee and Activation (365 Days)
Account activation requires the payment of the established Centre Onboarding Fee. The currently stated registration fee is ₹500, subject to the specific fee amount displayed and confirmed during the checkout and onboarding workflow.
365-Day Validity Period:
Upon successful payment verification and administrator review, the centre account is granted an operational activation period of 365 days from the date of activation.
Registration fees cover account provisioning, cryptographic credential enrollment, infrastructure leasing, and dedicated cluster access. Refund eligibility for registration payments is strictly governed by our Refund Policy.
Registered Location and Service Access (5 KM Policy)
To prevent fraudulent proxy operations, ensure geofenced integrity, and comply with regional administrative policies, Centre Operators must register their fixed physical kiosk coordinates (latitude and longitude) during account setup.
5 KM Radius Access Control:
Access to automated booking dispatch, slot claiming, and instant service execution is subject to location verification. The platform verifies that operational requests originate within an authorized 5 kilometer radius of the centre's registered physical location, subject to the actual backend configuration.
Circumventing, spoofing, or manipulating GPS coordinates or network telemetry to bypass the 5 km access policy constitutes a material breach of these Terms and will result in immediate account suspension.
Account Security and Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, login passwords, and any associated worker machine tokens. You must immediately notify YUKTRON via our Contact Support Portal if you suspect any unauthorized access or security breach.
All actions, transactions, and bookings conducted under your account credentials are presumed to be authorized by you, and you accept full liability for any losses resulting from compromised credentials.
TicketAssist Terms & Booking Assistance
TicketAssist provides automated and human-assisted queue monitoring, slot check automation, and fast-fill assistance for official temple darshan virtual queues.
Crucial Platform Clarifications:
- No Booking Guarantees: SevaTN does not guarantee the availability of pilgrimage slots or the successful issuance of passes. Slot availability is solely determined and controlled by the relevant official authorities and temple boards.
- No Government Affiliation: SevaTN and YUKTRON are independent private technology providers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or an official agency of the Travancore Devaswom Board or any governmental department.
- Anti-Circumvention Policy: TicketAssist never intercepts OTPs or bypasses security CAPTCHAs. All verification challenges require operator interaction.
Instant Service Terms
The Instant Service module facilitates assisted submission of public eSevai queries, verification requests, and citizen application filings.
Centre Operators warrant that all citizen information, certificates, identification documents, and application parameters submitted via Instant Service are obtained with the explicit informed consent of the respective citizen. Statutory government filing fees remitted directly to state portals are non-refundable once an application is acknowledged by the official portal.
Wallets, Payments, and Transactions
Platform transactions are processed using a secure double-entry Centre Wallet ledger. Centre Operators deposit funds in advance via approved online payment gateways or offline UPI transfers.
- Temporary Holding (Reservation): When a booking job is leased to a worker PC, the applicable service fee is temporarily reserved (held) from the Centre Wallet.
- Fee Capture: Service fees are permanently debited and captured only upon receipt of a verified official booking confirmation reference.
- Automatic Release: If a booking attempt fails, encounters slot exhaustion, or times out, the held funds are automatically and immediately released back to the centre's available balance.
Refunds of unreserved available wallet balances are governed by our dedicated Refund Policy.
Third-Party Services and Availability
The Platform interfaces with external third-party services, including government portals, pilgrimage booking engines, SMS gateways, and payment service providers.
YUKTRON is not liable for service interruptions, server downtime, slot quota changes, or API modifications caused by third-party platforms beyond our reasonable operational control.

Privacy and Personal Information
YUKTRON collects and processes personal information necessary to manage accounts, process booking requests, verify locations, and maintain financial records. Devotee details (names, photo identification IDs) entered for booking passes are processed strictly for generating the requested pass and are not sold or exploited for third-party commercial marketing.
