AI Summary

Time limitation for CST reimbursement claims: delayed claims may be admitted subject to deduction, not an absolute extended-period bar.
Para 9.3 allows delayed CST reimbursement claims to be admitted after the prescribed filing date to prevent hardship, but any application accepted beyond the original time-limit may be subject to a cut or deduction from the eligible amount; the provision does not create an absolute two year bar but permits late admission with reduction.
