Hi Lalit Kumar Gupta,
Thanks for your reply, quite okay to help me get started.
To me Section (1B) and (1C) mean the same, with that in mind I have framed the highlights as below.
Please modify if fine-tuning is needed, also correct if my understanding of the same is wrong.
The special provision with respect to certain establishment stated under section 16 (1A) (1B) (1C) is applicable as listed below.
