3. Investigation and resolution:

  1. Gathering information: To address your complaint effectively, we may need to gather additional information. We will aim to understand the circumstances surrounding your concern fully. If required, we may ask you to provide additional details or evidence related to the issue.

  2. Timelines: We will strive to investigate and resolve your complaint within 2-3 Weeks. However, some complex issues may require additional time. In such cases, we will keep you informed about the progress and provide updates on the expected resolution timeframe.
