   Facts

   No. If the officer does not act within 15 working days of your application, the amendment is treated as approved. The same applies 7 working days after your reply to a query.

2. P

   Provisions and law

   • Rule 19(2) to 19(5), CGST Rules 2017Officer may raise a query in REG-03 within 15 working days, reply in REG-04 within 7 working days, rejection in REG-05, deemed approval if the officer does not act in time
3. A

   Analysis

   Rule 19 provides deemed approval when the officer takes no action within the time limit. Count working days, not calendar days, and leave out public holidays. Example: filed on 1 October, the 15 working days end around 23 October depending on holidays; after that the portal should show the change as approved. If it still shows pending, raise a grievance on the portal and write to the jurisdictional office.
