Form 109 sent to competent authority for approval

This discussion addresses the common issue of delays in Form 109 approval by the competent authority. Members share their experiences, with most approvals taking between 1.5 to 2 months, though some cases resolve faster. It's clarified that physical address verification is generally not conducted, and uploading documents like rent agreements, electricity bills, or offer letters (for parents' jobs) is standard. For quicker resolution, raising a query on the SSP portal or contacting the ICAI helpline is recommended.
