   Analysis

   The portal lets you authorise a representative under the Authorised Partners or My Profile options, and the representative responds through e-Proceedings, As Authorized Representative. The user manual notes that a representative uses an OTP sent to them, valid for 15 minutes. Share documents with the CA early so the reply is ready before the date. Review the final reply yourself, because facts in it bind you.
