Above mentioned turn-around-time is only approximate and it may vary from time to time for various reasons. GmrSolutions do not have any control on this, however, we will be here to help you through the process.
To speed up approval, consider registering with multiple operators and try submitting different content with different operators.
Note: While creating multiple DLT accounts, your PE ID will remain same and all templates/headers will be synced with each other in realtime. That’s the real advantage of DLT technology.
