Restore Registration Application

1. The Registration Application submitted by me has been rejected by the Tax Authority. What can I do now?

If application for registration is rejected by Tax Authority, you can file appeal against the order within 3 months from the date of rejection order. After completion of hearing, if appellate Authority passes an order for restoration of registration in your favour, you need to communicate the order to the Proper Officer who has rejected your registration application. In compliance of the order of the Appellate Authority, the Proper Officer may restore the registration application submitted by you and process it for issuing registration.
