Is GST registration affected by the lockdown

I registered for a GST number on Friday 27 March using the online portal at gst.gov and received an ARN number.  My tracker still shows Pending for Processing although I have heard that the registration only takes 3 working days. Is there any way to expedite the registration. Thanks.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses concerns about GST registration delays during a lockdown period. While online applications are submitted, processing can be held up due to office closures and reduced staff availability. Applicants are advised to ensure their documentation is accurate and to wait for offices to reopen for the registration to be processed.

Yes... If Your register is correctly applied then it will be taken to process...
Wait on next "3 WORKING DAYS" or "Officers Attention"
Yes only after lockdown your application will be processed because I have also applied for new registration on 21st March but still pending for approval

Thanks Raja P M: I understand that the case can be delayed in case of insufficient or inaccurate documentation

Thanks g mahesh Mundra: this clarifies my suspicion. Hope the COVID situation improves and offices open again.

Yes... Mr Bummerman.,

Main reason for delaying is covid-19 problem. Officers not available in office...
after their coming they will consider your registration process. If documentation and application are correct then they issued gstin to You...
So, please be wait reopen the office.
Mr.Bummerman I reviewed my GST.no today morning. Maybe you will also receive your GST no in a day or two days

Congratulations g mahesh Mundra. That is great news!! My hopes are high
