The provisions of Section 119(2)(b) are meant for redressal of grievances and hardships caused to the petitioner. The petitioner had adopted the option for taxation u/s 115BAA of the Act, which grants relief to companies by enabling them to pay a reduced tax rate of 22% subject to certain conditions.
