Registration refusal requires deficiency notice, written-submission hearing, reasoned communication, and permits fresh applications after the prescribed interval.

Before refusing registration, the Authority must communicate application deficiencies and allow thirty days for rectification, subject to permitted extensions. Extensions beyond ninety days require the Chairperson's permission and recorded reasons, with a maximum period of one hundred and eighty days. If deficiencies remain unrectified, refusal must be reasoned and preceded by a reasonable opportunity to file written submissions. A fresh registration application may be made six months after communication of refusal.
