Hi
The last approval I saw was for April 2nd fees taken..

[Lakshmi87]

Hi Lakshmi87,

What's the process they outlined? Enrol biometrics then do you have to inform them of the registration number? All the best.

Hello ,


You don't have to inform home office any registration , Post office member will do that . You just have to take the biometric enrollment letter to nearest post office , they will do the remaining job for you .
