CR & Trade License - Annual
Commercial Registration and Trade License must be renewed annually with MOCI. An expired CR blocks visa renewals, banking operations, and government tender bids. Trade license renewal requires a valid, municipality-approved lease agreement - an expired lease cascades into license failure.
