Quoted from the prerequisite list in the register. Where the source names a detail rather than a document, such as a survey number, it is listed as the source words it.
The form you fill in
Completion form / prescribed application form, assessed against the DSIRDA BU scrutiny checklist published at 'Checklist - For BU'
What it costs
Quoted from the government source, in its own words:
A scrutiny fee is required - the checklist has a line for the fee amount deposited with a receipt number and date - but THE AMOUNT IS BLANK on the published form.
No part of this figure has been rounded, converted or updated by us. If the department has revised it since 4 August 2026, the correction address is in the footer. Every published fee in the register sits on one page.
How long it takes
No timing stated. A department that does not publish a service standard cannot be held to one, which is worth knowing before you plan around a date.
No timeline is stated for this step in any source examined for this register. Where a statute prescribes a period it is recorded; where it does not, the value is left empty rather than filled with a turnaround time from an unofficial source.
What to watch out for
The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.
Document list is translated from the Gujarati checklist; item numbering follows the published form.
