Dharamshala: As per the resolution unanimously adopted on the 5th session of the 17th Tibetan Parliament in Exile, the Tibetan diaspora who have failed to pay their Chatrel (voluntary contribution to Central Tibetan Administration) or register for a new Green Book till the fiscal year 2022-23 were exempted 90% of the payment granted that they pay the remaining 10% of the due amount in a lump sum or in instalments. The exemption is applicable from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
However, as the 7th session of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile had discussed the fact that the opportunity for Chatrel exemption had not yet been taken advantage of to some extent, it was unanimously decided to extend the deadline for the exemption until 30 September 2024. The Department of Finance appealed to everyone not to miss out on this opportunity to continue fulfilling the obligations of the Tibetan citizens.
