Reply to registration query, REG-03 and REG-04
What this means, checked by a CA
When the GST officer raises a query on your registration application in REG-03, you have 7 working days to answer in REG-04 or the application can be rejected. We read the notice, check whether the officer is asking only for what the rules allow, fix the documents and file a point by point reply on time.
