(B) online applications received in 2021
2. Which month applications are being processed now :
(A). Paper applications
(B) online applications
3. Are you still accepting paper applications?if not
4. When you stopped accepting paper applications?
5. How many applications are still waiting to be allocated to a case officer month wise from 1.1.21. Paper applications and online applications separately.
Yours faithfully,
Sunaina
