Shahi & Co. — Our Understanding
This section falls under Chapter XXII (Miscellaneous) which contains general provisions including powers of the Board, rounding off, and savings provisions.
Practical Note: These provisions govern administrative aspects of the Act. Section 533 (power to make rules) and Section 536 (repeal and savings) are particularly important for understanding the transition from the old Act to the new one.
