It has to be noticed that for the subject year, after the amendment to Section 10A, mere processing does not entitle a claim under Section 10A But by the proviso added on amendment by substitution, the undertakings which were entitled under the earlier provision would be so entitled even under the new provision for the unexpired period of entitlement as per the earlier provision.
