Why was your STR application rejected?

Before submitting an appeal, it is important to understand the possible reasons behind the rejection.

Among the most common reasons are:

  • Income exceeding the eligibility threshold based on LHDN records
  • Incomplete or outdated personal information, such as marital status, number of dependents, or address
  • Mismatched information between STR and LHDN databases
  • Issues involving registered bank accounts

In some cases, applicants may still qualify if the information on record does not accurately reflect their current circumstances.

While receiving a rejection can be disappointing, many applicants have successfully received STR assistance after appealing and providing updated information or supporting documents.
