on application made to him in this behalf, grant such relief as may be prescribed.

Further, in terms of Section 192 (2A) of the Act ibid, where the assessee is entitled to

the relief under sub-section (1) of Section 89, he may furnish to the person responsible

for making the payment of any income chargeable under the head "Salaries", such

particulars in such form and verified in such manner as may be prescribed, and

thereupon the person responsible as aforesaid shall compute the relief on the basis of

such particulars and take into account in making the deduction under sub-section (1) of

Section 192. You may take further necessary action in the matter. If any clarification is


Page 18 of 34

months.

2. In the case of employees in Category II who draw pay of `10270 + `185 ASP, the
