Sh.Vinay Ji,

Credit goes to M/s.YAGAY AND SUN.You should be grateful to them and not me. I have only searched their reply. Their reply is very comprehensive and leaves no doubt.

Anyhow I have observed that most of the querists are not courteous. You always express gratitude. I like this nature very much.

Yes Sir. Their replies are 99.99 % error proof. But we are missing them since 2.3.16. We are deprived of their valuable knowledge and interpretation of law. M/s. YAGAY AND SUN are requested to come back to the pavilion (Home Ground).
