 +<WRAP info>
 +**Short version.** **Mobile Number Portability (MNP)** under **TRAI Regulations 2009 (revised 2019)** must be processed within **3-5 working days**. Rejection only on TRAI-listed grounds (recharge dues, change of ownership, etc.). If your MNP request is wrongly rejected, RTI to **PIO of TRAI + DoT (Department of Telecommunications)** with **₹10 fee** legally forces a written reply within **30 days** under §7(1) RTI Act 2005.
