importer or a registered seed cleaner, as the case may be, may apply to
the Certifying Authority, in the form prescribed, for a renewal of his
registration.
(2) Any application for renewal of any registration under this Act must

(5) In the event of an extension of time for the making of an application
for renewal having been granted by the Certifying Authority under any

said extension of time extends:
Provided, however, that upon renewal of such registration being granted
the renewed registration shall relate back to the date of the expiry of the
former registration, and the duration of the renewed registration shall be
calculated from that date.
