3. Document Verification Round for issuing Eating House License
After you submit all the required documents online, you must go to the Addl. Commissioner of Police Licensing of your state for the verification of your application and documents.
4. Seek updates from the Issuing authority
After your documentation and application verification round is complete, you need to be frequent with your follow-ups.
