If the Secretary of the Corporation receives such a representation accompanied by a receipt against the payment of the amount as directed above, the Corporation will consider that representation, hear the petitioner and take a correct decision. Decision, as directed above, will be taken by the Corporation within one month of receiving the representation accompanied by the receipt against the payment. ii).
