Frequently Asked Questions
How long does design registration take?
Timelines vary based on the authority's processing time and document readiness. Typical turnaround ranges from a few working days to a few weeks. We share an indicative timeline upfront after reviewing your case.
Is the entire process online?
Yes. Our process is end-to-end online — you share documents digitally, sign through secure e-signing where applicable, and we coordinate with the authorities on your behalf.
What if my application has objections or queries?
If the authority raises any objection or query, our team prepares the response, files clarifications, and follows up until resolution at no additional cost within the engagement scope.
Are there any hidden charges?
No. We share a transparent quote covering professional fees and applicable government fees before you engage us. Any additional statutory fee is communicated in writing in advance.
Do you provide post-registration support?
Yes. We offer continuing compliance support — annual filings, returns, amendments, renewals — so you stay compliant after the initial registration.
